As the University of Iowa absorbs state funding cuts that have depleted resources that help to retain top administrators, it finds itself spending more to replace them, the Cedar Rapids Gazette reportedA review by the Gazette shows the university has tapped search firms to help replace at least nine departed administrators since the start of 2017, many of whom left this year. Contracts for those firms show total fees and expenses are expected to top $1.5 million.
