The summer session at the University of Iowa will begin on Monday in Iowa City, even though parts of the campus are still underwater.
University officials say 20 buildings were inundated when the Iowa River flooded over the weekend.
During the Jet Streaming podcast, Mark Seeley, Paul Huttner and Cathy Wurzer spoke with University of Iowa President Sally Mason about the situation, which some are calling the gravest threat in the school's 161-year history.
