Iowa’s Board of Regents voted to scale back the state university system’s diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs.

The changes to Iowa’s DEI programs include eliminating university-wide “DEI functions that are not necessary for compliance or accreditation,” reviewing “all college, department, or unit-level DEI positions to determine whether DEI specific job responsibilities are necessary for compliance, accreditation, or student and employee support services” and eliminating all that are not, and reviewing “the services provided by offices currently supporting diversity or multicultural affairs in other divisions of the university to ensure they are available to all students.”

Notably, the steps the Board of Regents have adopted also include ensuring that employees, students, applicants, and campus visitors are not required to submit DEI statements or “be evaluated based on participation in DEI initiatives” unless the position is one required for “DEI-related compliance or accreditation.”

The new rules also prohibit Iowa’s public universities from requiring that employees, students, applicants, or campus visitors provide their preferred pronouns.
