<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I use to ask this question all the time when I attended UI. The answer is always the same, "It comes from private donations that are earmarked for certain projects."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Somebody with a lot of money was talked into spending it on the Kibbie Dome instead of making investments to keep matriculation fees, about 50% of students fees, lower.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The only thing you can do about it is not give UI your money, and keep voting against incumbants unless you are happy with your government.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Your Friend,</DIV>

<TD vAlign=top>Representative Ringo,
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Where is the money coming from to renovate the Kibby Dome?
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>From what I can tell, almost $40 million is being spent to update a facility which has not much to do with higher education academics.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>How come there is money to be spent on a money pit, yet teacher salaries are cut and student fees are on the rise?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>It's hard to feel sorry for UI's woes since it seems their problem is mismanagement from overpaid public employees. If I have any say I would target these decision makers and demand accountability while cutting their salaries to a more reasonable level.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>It's unfortunate that education has to suffer from lack of funding while reckless spending seems to go on.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The UI bureaucracy needs some serious reform if you think there will ever be adequate funding for actual education...</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
