The University of Iowa held a press conference today to address the concern over the name of their student portal, ISIS (Iowa Student Information System). This is the first time they have addressed the name change they made this summer.
President Bruce Harreld spoke to the media about the concern students had in being connected to ISIS. “The change from ISIS will be costly (alluding to the numerous electronic and paper documents that must be changed), so it is important that we generate a new name for this portal that all students can be proud of and feel safe using,” President Harreld said.
