Texas State University was recently awarded a $1.5 million grant to aid up to 1,000 former students with some college credit to return to school and finish their respective degrees.
The university received the pass-through grant from the United States Department of Education s Education Stabilization Fund Program via the Governor’s Emergency Education Relief (GEER) Fund. This is a great opportunity for those who want to finish their degree, said Todd Sherron, assistant professor of practice with the Department of Organization, Workforce and Leadership Studies (OWLS), who oversaw Texas State s grant application. If a student has 90 hours of course credit and meets the criteria, we will provide financial assistance to them to finish their education.
Johnson County Democrats passed a resolution on Sunday night supporting a shift to a presidential primary. Author: Shelby Kluver (WQAD) Updated: 7:18 PM CST March 8, 2021
IOWA CITY, Iowa Democrats in Johnson County, Iowa, have passed a resolution in support of switching from presidential caucusing to a primary system. The county, which includes Iowa City, is the fifth largest in the state.
Every odd-numbered year the local democratic party hosts their own caucus vote. Most of it goes to party building, where a number of committee positions are elected. But there s also time for resolutions to be brought up and discussed.
On Sunday, one of the resolutions brought up was to support a shift from presidential caucuses to a primary voting system. It passed on a 39-11 vote, but isn t likely to actually change primary voting in Johnson County, or across Iowa.
