They were just talking about the flooding on Iowa's campus. Classes are on hold of a few weeks. How does this affect the FB team school wise since summer schools is used to get kids needed credits?
They also said 75% of nurses in the state graduate from U of I and 80% of teachers do. Dont these numbers seem a bit high. And remember this college is important to EVERYONE in the state.
It is a bad deal the campus is flooded but lets get your facts straight.

I thought UNI was the place that many of the teachers came from.

Those numbers do seem high. If they are talking about nurses getting their BSN or above then they might be right. I'd think that RN would be lower. There are a lot of programs out there for RNs.
When I think of teaching I think of UNI. I'm sure there are quite a few that go to Iowa and Iowa State, but I'd think UNI is best known for that.
I'm curious what will happen for the fall session. My wife and I know a girl that will be a freshman there this fall. I'm just wondering if the reconstruction will affect where classes meet or what are offered.

Are they talking about 80% of teachers getting their Masters or Doctorate? That could be right, but not for their undergrad work. That seems way off.

Yeah, that doesn't seem right. That would mean that UNI and ISU and all other out of state schools only provide 20% of the teachers, and that makes no sense. Honestly I would find it hard to believe 50%.

Wouldn't be the first time CNN got the facts wrong? Did they declare the 80% based on actual numbers or was that based on exit polls with 0% in?

It is a bad deal the campus is flooded but lets get your facts straight. You're right. These facts are totally wrong. Everybody knows that 75% of nurses and 80% of teachers in the WORLD graduate from EIU. I am going to write a strongly worded letter to someone to fix this complete fabrication of the truth!

I am going to write a strongly worded letter to someone to fix this complete fabrication of the truth! The nurse stat could be correct. The teacher stat.... Not so much. The teacher ed program at Iowa is bad. I find it nearly impossible to believe that statistic, which I think was the biggest issue in those numbers.

It is a bad deal the campus is flooded but lets get your facts straight. none of the teachers in my highschool went to Iowa. Those numbers can't be right. a lot of teachers come from wartburg college though

Thank you Wes Johnson for the great 2 years you gave Iowa State. Wish you could've stayed. Best of luck to you, wherever you end up.

Just be glad that Iowa is in the news for something other than the VEISHEA riots or cacuses...

I would think that 80% of the states teachers may come from state funded schools in the state of Iowa (Iowa State, Iowa, UNI). Not just one school. That number seems much more realistic.
