The state Board of Regents will meet today in West Des Moines, planning to discuss several items during the two-day period.

University of Iowa officials have requested approval for an expansion project at the Iowa River Landing Clinic. This expansion will finish part of the fifth floor.

The project has an estimated cost of $7.4 million, and the money will come out of the University Hospitals Building Use Funds.

The regents will also be presented with annual diversity reports from the regent institutions.

On Thursday, the regents will interview two candidates as part of the search for a new president of the University of Northern Iowa. UNI President Ben Allen told the regents last fall that he would retire no later than July 1.
