“The point is to make education
accessible to everyone.”
-Deb Sellers
Associate Dean of Human Sciences Extension and Outreach
Though more than 1 million people are directly affected by the the extension and outreach programs offered by Iowa State each year, some may not recognize the impact, as not everyone is aware of the source. Iowa State University’s Extension and Outreach Strategic Plan, activated in 2017 to carry out through 2022, relies heavily on the values of the Morrill Land Grant Acts of 1862. “I think many students don’t realize that Iowa State University is a land-grant university and what that means,” said Deb Sellers, the associate dean of Human Sciences Extension and Outreach. “The point is to make education accessible to everyone.” Iowa was the first state to accept the provisions

Iowa Regents to convene Thursday Campus safety, tuition among topics up for discussion BY TYRUS.PAVICICH @iowastatedaily.com The Iowa Board of Regents will discuss topics including public safety and spending at the state universities during its meeting this week. Key presentations include the Fall 2018 Enrollment Report, the Comprehensive Fiscal
Report for FY 2018 and the annual Clery Act Reports, which disclose crime statistics in and around university campuses. Thursday and Friday’s meeting is slated to be the Board of Regents’ last until January 2019. The board’s November session will open with reports from the investment and finance committee at 11 a.m Thursday. This section will feature the report for Fiscal Year 2018, which covers “budgetary and financial matters,” in addition to a five-year history of revenues and expenditures for entities controlled by the Board of Regents. Brad Berg, the Iowa Board of Regents’ policy and operations officer, said the report marks the
end of the fiscal year and provides an overview of universities’ cashflow. “The final thing to close the fiscal year 2018 period is reporting the actual revenues and expenditures of the institutions,” Berg said. “Since a portion of those budgets are comprised of taxpayer dollars, it promotes accountability of those funds.” Following the meeting of that committee, the board is scheduled to enter open session at 12:30 p.m. with a 30-minute public comment section. The previous Board of Regents meeting in September was interrupted by faculty

The Center for LGBTQIA+ Student Success announced Wednesday on their social media that they will be moving into the Memorial Union in spring 2019. Roslyn Gray, president of Pride Alliance and a senior in biology, said the benefi ts of the move are being closer to food as well as having a larger and more cooperative space and providing a bigger opportunity for the LGBTQIA+ community to be seen. According to a post on their Facebook, more details will be coming soon about a specific location and a grand opening. Student comments on both the Facebook and Instagram posts show lots of support and happiness about the announcement, with lots of exclamation marks and emojis included. “I will miss the space because I have grown accustomed to the rainbow room being in the same space since I have moved in,” Gray said. “I still go there to this day when I need a place to chill.”
