262.91 LEGISLATIVE INTENT.
The general assembly recognizes that universities must provide an
environment that enables all students to have an equal opportunity to
succeed. The general assembly also recognizes that, because of
inequalities in educational preparation, economic factors, and social
circumstances, not all young Iowans have the same degree of access to
Iowa's higher education system. The general assembly further
acknowledges that an early intervention system using public school
districts, community agencies, and other state institutions can be
useful in preparing young students to succeed in college. Therefore,
the "College-bound" program is established to ensure that the state's
universities and students' local communities become involved early in
a student's life by promoting and informing students about the
opportunities in higher education, so that lack of adequate personal
resources is not a barrier to attending college for young Iowans. Section History: Recent Form
