  • The Annals of Iowa
    The Annals of Volume 72, Number 3 Iowa Summer 2013 A QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF HISTORY In This Issue KATE HOEY and JOY SMITH analyze the context and consequences of an important legal case decided by the Iowa Supreme Court in 1956, Acuff v. Schmit. The case established a wife’s right to claim loss of consortium. The authors show, however, that although the decision did extend mar- ried women’s legal rights, it rested on a traditional cultural commitment to marriage and did not represent a fundamental change in the courts’ view of the hierarchical relationship between husbands and wives. ANNA L. BOSTWICK FLAMING describes the programs of The Door Opener, a center for displaced homemakers in Mason City. She shows, in particular, that, in a place and time marked by skepticism of both feminism and state-run antipoverty programs, The Door Opener’s success depended on a strategic use of government funds and feminist critiques to better the lives of former homemakers in Iowa. MARVIN BERGMAN reviews two new books about the Midwest by Robert Wuthnow, one about the fate of midwestern communities since the 1950s, the other about religion and politics in the region. Front Cover Two women, perhaps Shirley Sandage and Margaret Garrity, co-founders of The Door Opener, meet inside the center’s front window. For more on The Door Opener and its role in providing resources for displaced home- makers in Mason City and surrounding communities, see Anna L. Bostwick Flaming’s article in this issue.

  • 5 Regents Met Privately with Harreld During U. Iowa Search
    DocY107 Click here to print this page By Ryan J. Foley | Posted - Sep. 24, 2015 at 4:51 p.m. 5 regents met privately with Harreld during U. Iowa search IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Five members of the University of Iowa's governing board who would later hire him as school president met privately with former IBM executive Bruce Harreld as he considered whether to apply, bolstering claims that he received favoritism. Board President Bruce Rastetter confirmed in a statement Thursday that Harreld met July 30 in Ames with regents Katie Mulholland, Milt Dakovich, Mary Andringa and Larry McKibben. Harreld had dinner that night with Iowa State University President Steven Leath, a favorite of the regents who was hired in 2012. Rastetter, an appointee of Gov. Terry Branstad, said he helped coordinate those meetings but didn't attend. He had met Harreld on July 8, when Harreld was invited to lecture at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. Harreld's candidacy wasn't made public until Aug. 30, and the regents voted 9- 0 days later to make him the school's 21st president despite a lack of prior experience in higher education administration. Rastetter's acknowledgment of private meetings is likely to add to anger on campus, where some professors, students and alumni have accused the regents of orchestrating a sham search that favored Harreld every step of the way. Groups representing faculty and the school's 32,000 students have issued votes of no-confidence in regents for hiring Harreld over their opposition. The regents passed over the provosts of Ohio State and Tulane and the president of Oberlin College, each of whom had wide support on campus.
