The Honorable Ron Corbett
Speaker of the House
House of Representatives
State Capitol Building
L 0 C A L
Dear Mr. Speaker:
House File 387, an act relating to the appointment of the
student member to the State Board of Regents, reducing the
student member's term and providing implementation and
transition provisions, is hereby disapproved and transmitted to
you in accordance with Article III, Section 16, of the
Constitution of the State of Iowa.
This bill reduces the term of the student member of the Board of
Regents from six years to four.  The Board of Regents, as well
as individual members of the Board, have urged a veto of this
bill.
Maintaining the student position on the Board of Regents as a
full Regent in every respect, with full voting authority and
length of service is important.  This bill risks reducing the
student role to one that is not equal to other Regents in the
decision-making process. Making this change to the statute
regarding the student member of the Board of Regents dilutes the
student role by reducing the length of term to one that is less
than the other Regents. I believe that our present system has
resulted in excellent student representation on the Board. We
should not dilute or diminish a system that has served Iowa's
higher education well.
For the above reason, I hereby respectfully disapprove House
File 387.
	Sincerely,
	Terry E. Branstad
	Governor
