Regents move to limit DEI spending across Iowa universities
Iowa Regents respond to a new state law banning DEI offices and most DEI funding effective July 2025. University leaders announce closures or restructurings of DEI offices at Iowa State and UNI with several positions cut, while the University of Iowa restructures into a Division of Access Opportunity and Diversity. The panel notes the law expands the definition of DEI and strengthens enforcement, prompting a shift in focus to compliance and state mandates.
