IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — The University of Iowa is advancing a plan to lease its utilities system to a for-profit company for 50 years in exchange for a large upfront payment that would be used for strategic goals. University President Bruce Harreld outlined the plan during a meeting with the Iowa Board of Regents, which is expected to consider approving the plan next week. It would turn over the operation of plants that provide power, steam and water to campus to a newly-formed company involving two energy firms.

WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) — An Evansdale man will be sentenced to up to five years in prison after entering a plea in the hit-and-run death of a Waterloo teenager. The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reports Brandon Donald Gordon on Monday entered an Alford plea to a charge of leaving the scene of a fatal accident. The plea doesn’t admit guilt but acknowledges he’d likely be convicted in a trial. Gordon was arrested days after striking 16-year-old Tayshaun Jenkins on March 10. Jenkins’ body was found about four hours later.
