The Iowa Board of Regents may be changing how it awards the appropria- tions set aside for Iowa universities. Last April, a task force was created to look into the possibility of implementing a performance-based funding system for the state of Iowa and its regent schools. Currently, the three universities that receive state appropriations are funded based roughly on the number of students they enroll. Since the system of appropriations comes from taxpayer dollars, it makes sense that Iowans would like to make sure that their money is going to the schools which are providing the best ser- vices. With plenty of time left before a de- cision is to be made regarding a possible implementation of performance-based Courtesy of Wikimedia Commons funding, the board has time to make sure Columnist Brown argues that the debate over gay marriage is not about getting complete equality, but instead about receiving equal this seemingly simple reform is done protection. He believes that most people simply tend to generalize the meaning of “equal protection of the laws” to mean “equality.” right. Not only that, but the board has plenty of time to make sure any possible changes to appropriations are made with the right reasoning in mind.
