The Iowa Board of Regents wants to know whether Iowa’s public universities have considered increases in online learning before proposing more than $200 million in building projects on the campuses. Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad vetoed funding for these same projects in June, saying he feared campus overbuilding as online learning continues to grow. “I have to ask this: have we adequately considered an online teaching component?” Regent Milt Dakovich, asked Warren Madden, Iowa State University vice president for business and finance, at a regents committee meeting Tuesday in Cedar Falls.
