Regents to pick next UI intellectual freedom center director

The Iowa Board of Regents will interview two finalists and vote Nov. 11 on a permanent director for the University of Iowa’s Center for Intellectual Freedom. The center’s advisory council advanced the candidates after a Friday meeting but did not release their names. The appointment follows a rocky start for the center, which was created to promote intellectual diversity and the free exchange of ideas, the Iowa City Press-Citizen reported.
