The University of Iowa has reversed course on cost-cutting plans to close the university’s Labor Center after the proposal was met with protests and widespread pushback from the community, the Corridor Business Journal reported. University officials announced Tuesday they would revisit their decision in light of a Labor Center plan to become self-sufficient within four years. A memorandum of understanding would eliminate general education funding for the center while providing limited financial support for four years to give it time to generate new or additional revenue.The Board of Regents will review the plan and vote to reconsider closure of the Labor Center at its next meeting on Feb. 28.
