State university foundations open records, but numbers vague, information missing.

Gerald and Karen Kolschowsky of Oak Brook, Ill., the late Richard and Herta Beatty of Des Moines, and the Roy J. Carver Charitable Trust were top donors to Iowa's universities last year, all giving between $5 million and $10 million.
But a complete picture of who gave what to Iowa State University, the University of Iowa and the University of Northern Iowa continues to be difficult to piece together.
Foundations at Iowa's three state universities recently released lists of their top 25 donors for 2004 in response to a request by The Des Moines Register.
The release followed a Feb. 4 Iowa Supreme Court ruling stating that the ISU Foundation performs 'a government function, and therefore its records are subject to disclosure.'"
