University of Iowa Des Moines

Some interesting news from down I-80. Apparently University of Iowa is going to purchase AIB College of Business in Des Moines. They currently have a little over 1000 students and say they have room on campus to double that. They compete athletically in the NAIA, but will be dropping athletics with the move.

Yeah that is interesting....here is what I found on the matter:
UI is not buying the non-profit institution that offers degrees in business-related programs and specialties. But the university will assume ownership of AIB’s 20 acres and 16 buildings, including residence halls capable of housing about 500 students. Eventually, all AIB students will become UI students
