Nice to see another Hawk Fan that is a Mark Levin listener! If people want to learn a lot about the U.S. Constitution and our Founding Fathers, they should listen to Mark Levin.

Regents don’t renew U-I president’s contract, want her to work on issues
Board of Regents president, Craig Lang, confirms the board has not renewed the contract for University of Iowa President Sally Mason. “That’s correct. Her contract –five-year contract –was up in August, and what we did, we did not renew a new contract with President Mason. She is employed at will,†Lang says.
Lang says there are a number of things the board really wants to work with Mason on to improve. Lang says, “We want to see improvement in outreach across the state, we wanted to see improvement in relationship building with the Iowa Legislature, we also want President Mason to show us her goals that she felt could be accomplished as it relates to the University of Iowa. And so during that process and period, we didn’t feel it was appropriate to give her any length of contract.â€
Lang says the board is looking for improvements that aren’t easily spelled out in a contract. “We’d like to see the University of Iowa be well known for the things it brings to the state.The dentists, the nurses, the lawyers, the communication that the University is doing really great things and we think all of that kind of communication starts at the top,†according to Lang.
The University has come under fire recently after sexual harassment charges were made against a former academic advisor. The university investigation found former associate director of athletic student services, Peter Gray, engaged in inappropriate behavior with students that ranged from making sexual comments to trading athletic event tickets for sexual favors.
Lang was critical of the university during this week’s Board of Regents meeting, saying the incident suggests the university is not doing a good job in the area of sexual harassment. The sexual harassment policies at all three state-supported schools were overhauled after a sexual assault at the U-I in 2008.

Also, don't believe this is related. But in searching for news on Mason came across this from yesterday:

I am not saying it won't have an impact eventually if we have another bad season or two like 2012. However, how has this contract hurt the University or the Athletic Department up to this point? It has had no impact on the University whatsoever because the Athletic Department is self sufficient.
At this point, the Athletic Department is in very good shape financially and that is mostly due to Football revenues. There is a vocal minority of our fan base that is irritated by the contract but it hasn't translated into loss of revenue yet. Again, another bad season or two like 2012 may start to have a negative impact on revenue but there is no evidence of that yet. Therefore, you can't call it a bad contract right now.

He's way too bright for you anyway. Haven't u libtards about played out the "tinfoil hat" moniker?
As I read that, it sounds like politics has entered into the picture at the board level. There is nothing quantifiable in that complaint. It is really all about perception. Pretty much impossible to get people to change their mind in that situation.
So, another state board runs off another UI president.

LOL.......what? This is the U. of Iowa. If she's a socialist, are you sure they don't want to extend her contract to life time?

Of the two, Mark Levin elicits the "tinfoil hat" comment? Interesting.

Hey John...err, I mean, Freed...I'll remind you again that you have no association with the U of Iowa, other than being a FB season ticket holder. Therefore your insane political opinions about the University and it's staff are irrelevant. Try to remember that, 'k?

Not a huge fan of his, but he's the most intelligent man on talk radio. Jan Mickelson on WHO radio is the best I have ever heard when discussing/teaching the US Constitution and the founding fathers.

Levin, author of “Ameritopia: The Unmaking of America,” told host Sean Hannity the country is already governed as a “soft tyranny” in all the little ways every individual’s day-to-day life is regulated.
“Let me tell you something — I have argued and I will continue to argue as Alexis de Tocqueville did. I address him in the book, too. We are in a soft tyranny right now. You may own a house, but you can’t do what you want to with the house, even if it’s reasonable. You may want a particular toilet in your house. You can’t have that toilet in your house … I’m just saying, you don’t need to flush 14 times? Same with the shower head. You can’t have the kind of automobile you want. I mean, I could go on and on and on. What’s happening is the circle of liberty, as I put it around every individual is getting tighter and tighter and tighter and tighter.”
