"Bruce Harreld answers a question he claims to have been asked by supporters and detractors: 'Why the University of Iowa?' Harreld answers, 'You may find that I came to the University of Iowa for much the same reason you did.' Although I might wish it were otherwise, I did not come to Iowa because I was offered a $590,000 a year salary, with a five-year deferred compensation plan of $200,000 a year. Nor did I benefit from a search process led by men who seemed bent on hiring me before the review process had officially begun." –Judith Pascoe
