Professor Richard Nelson, who helped develop the curriculum. The proposed certificate could be offered as soon as next fall, contingent on several officials’ approval. Helena Dettmer, an asso- ciate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sci- ences, received the plan to review on Monday. The certificate is open to all students, but it is grounded in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication for a reason. “[Those who work in philanthropy] need to have strong communica- tion skills, so we think it is a very good platform,” Perlmutter said. Flynn Andrizzi, a senior vice president for devel- opment at the UI Founda- tion, said communication is a huge part of the foun- dation’s business, which primarily includes fundraising for the UI. Perlmutter said a phi- lanthropy-centered undergraduate education such as this certificate would be “uniquely Iowa.” With Iowa City’s health care, arts, and literature features, he said, it’s a good place for people interested in working in philanthropy. Perlmutter said jobs promoting philanthropic organizations are widely available. Nelson said there are many regional and county organizations, charities, nonprofit groups, and other philanthropic organizations that need people to raise money for them and communicate how they make a difference. According to the National Center for Char- itable Statistics, there were 1,569,572 nonprofit organizations nationwide as of October 2009. This included 997,579 public charities, 118,423 private foundations, and 453,570 other types of nonprofit organizations, including chambers of commerce, fraternal organizations and civic leagues. Nelson said there are benefits of working for a philanthropic organiza- tion beyond bringing in funding. “It’s not just raising money to raise money,” he said. “It’s raising money to do good.”

MICHIGAN 80, IOWA 78 OT Michigan stings Hawks late The Hawkeyes fall to 3-11 in the Big Ten after an 80-78 overtime loss to Michigan.

Luol Deng BASKETBALL Bulls dump Knicks CHICAGO (AP) — Derrick Rose made it look easy despite a bruised right hip, hitting his first nine shots and scoring 29 points to lead the Chicago Bulls to a 118-85 victory over the New York Knicks on Tuesday. Still sore from a hard foul by Orlando’s Dwight Howard last week, Rose shook it off with a dominant performance as the Bulls matched their most lopsided win of the sea- son and handed the Knicks their fourth-straight loss and 13th in 17 games. Rose buried all seven shots while scoring 15 in the first quarter, and he was 14- of-18 in all, just missing his sixth 30-point game. Luol Deng added 18, Kirk Hinrich scored 14, and Chicago shot a season-high 60.5 percent. David Lee led New York with 24 points and 12 rebounds, but the Knicks were simply overmatched by Rose and the Bulls.
