Tell your Regent – Vote NO on eliminating EAS (Part 2)

Published:

You may have seen the EAS video that aired during the Iowa game! It is more important than ever that your Regent hears from YOU as well as us. There are two ways to make your feelings and thoughts known to the Regents as below. If you are new to this story, check out our previous post.

  1. Write to your Regent! The map of Regent districts is here. You can find information on each Regent here and their direct email addresses.
  2. Show up at the public comment section! You must be there before the meeting starts to sign in (and/or have registered your intent to speak with the Corporation Secretary for the Board of Regents, Katie Hoffman, at least 24 hours in advance). Include your name, address, phone number, and the topic you will address.

Thank you to those who have supported EAS thus far, with letters, comments to the APC and testimony! If you are new to this story, please see our previous post. You can find the full text of the narrative that we gave to the APC here and the video of the hearing on October 10, 2025, here. We noted that the justification read into the record was not the one we had been given in September and our response to the APC is here.
