University of Iowa president, Sally Mason, told the Board of Regents this week her goal is to grow the size of the Iowa City school. Mason says they can focus more on growth as the recovery efforts from the 2008 flooding near an end.
She says the loss of buildings to the flooding kept them from focusing on growth.
She says the school has significantly improved its four-year graduation rate, and now wants to take another step to help students.
The University of Iowa remained behind Iowa State University in total enrollment with numbers announced Wednesday. I-S-U has 34-thousand-372 students, while the U-I reported 31-thousand-387 students.
