The University of Iowa is asking community members for feedback on three campus safety prototypes developed by the Reimagining Campus Safety Action Committee. The committee, created in summer 2020 after national and local protests against police brutality and its impact on people of color, is working to create a shared vision for a safe and inclusive campus for all members of the community.
The three prototypes were developed from weeks of dialogue with the campus community to understand how different people experience safety and law enforcement and studying the context of policing nationally and locally. Conversations culminated in two virtual town halls hosted in early February.
IOWA CITY Without conducting a formal search despite earlier suggestions it would the University of Iowa on Friday named another interim administrator to assume a top leadership post on campus: dean of its largest college.
Sara Sanders stepped in as interim dean of the UI College of Liberal Arts and Sciences in July after its former and short-lived dean Steve Goddard abruptly resigned just a year into the job following a contentious Zoom town hall about budget cuts and fall return plans with 400-plus faculty and staff.
Sanders a social work professor who before her interim appointment served as associate dean for strategic initiatives and director of the college’s diversity, equity, and inclusion division will earn an annual salary of $375,000, up from her interim pay of $305,000 and previous $160,980 salary.
IOWA CITY In hopes of easing toward retirement, the University of Iowa’s long-serving Graduate College Dean and Associate Provost John Keller on Thursday announced he’s stepping down July 31.
Keller will remain on the UI faculty as a tenured professor and also be a “special assistant to the provost.” He also will continue to co-chair the committee leading the university’s search for a new president.
Keller has been UI associate provost for graduate and professional education and Graduate College dean since 2002, after serving as interim for two years.
Having started his 33-year stretch at UI as an associate professor in the College of Dentistry in 1988, the now 68-year-old Keller will remain a professor in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery while also leading “several projects” underway in the provost office.
