爱荷华大学思想自由中心迎来首位全职主任：内布拉斯加 大学奥马哈分校教授霍洛威获任命
爱荷华州董事会10月20日召开特别会议，任命内布拉斯加大学奥马哈分校政治学教授卡森·霍洛威为爱荷华大学思想自由中心首位全职常任主任，结束了近一年的遴选。该中心于2025年设立，背景是共和党州议员指称高等教育环境对保守派不友善，中心宗旨是促进思想多元与观念的自由交流，今后还将负责为爱荷华大学全体学生开设公民教育课程。
霍洛威毕业于北爱荷华大学，是从60多名候选人中脱颖而出的三名入围者之一，其余两名入围者的身份从未公开。董事会主席罗伯特·克雷默表示，期待与霍洛威合作、把中心办好。
此次任命是在中心临时主任卢恰诺·德卡斯特罗呼吁暂停遴选八天后作出的：德卡斯特罗此前要求董事会叫停主任遴选，并重新考虑他认为赋予董事会过多控制权的中心治理结构。霍洛威的具体薪酬与聘用条款尚未敲定；中心2027财年已为主任职位编列238703美元的预算。
University of Iowa Center for Intellectual Freedom Names First Full-Time Director: Carson Holloway
The University of Iowa's Center for Intellectual Freedom has named Carson Holloway, a professor from the University of Nebraska Omaha, as its first full-time director, the university announced. Holloway was selected from more than 60 applicants, of whom three were finalists.
The appointment follows public friction: the center's interim director, de Castro, had urged a pause in the search eight days earlier. The center's fiscal 2027 budget is $238,703; the director's salary has not been set.
The center was created to study and teach intellectual freedom and free inquiry on campus, and Holloway is expected to build out its programming as its first permanent head.
