The university is launching a marketing blitz Monday that will blanket the state with ads designed to reach potential in-state students and their parents. Iowans will see the school's pitches on their televisions, radios, computers and billboards, at airports, on the popular RAGBRAI bicycle ride this month and at the Iowa State Fair in August. Even a new hashtag — #TheUforIowa — will debut on Twitter to promote school's academics, research and service programs.
The launch marks a quick and aggressive response to a major policy change enacted last month by the Iowa Board of Regents, which governs Iowa and the state's two other public universities. The regents scrapped the state's longstanding policy for how nearly $500 million in state funds are divided between the three schools, and decided to link them to the number of in-state students enrolled.

Hopefully this new revenue model will spell the end of the Choose Your Adventure ads that ISU bombards mah TV wif. I love it - instead of marketing to bring money and bodies into the state, the schools will now fight among the scraps in the state. Fucking regents.

We can still recruit kids from other states, we just have to change our pitch: "Hey kid, are you tired of getting screwed out of grades by kids named Parwesh and Kyoki? Come to Iowa, where the only competition is the valedictorian of West Delaware High School!"

I once new the valedictorian of Plainfield. Everyone was all "this girl is wicked smaaaart, but she's misunderstood." She became a raging booze hound that got passed around multiple times and eventually flunked out of college. She was really nice, though.

By flunked out of college, you mean she flunked out of Virginia or Vanderbilt right? The valedictorian of Plainfield prolly isn't the kind of student Iowa is thinking of recruiting. |

This is a horrible development for Clown U.
No, really. It is. It's like having the Death Star take notice and decide it doesn't feel like tolerating your presence.
