THE IOWA BOARD OF REGENTS VOTES TO ABOLISH DEI by BOBBY BURACK November 20, 2023 
https://www.outkick.com/the-iowa-board-of-regents-votes-to-abolish-dei/The Iowa Board of Regents voted to abolish several diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs for state universities. Following the ruling, Iowa public universities are prohibited from requiring that employees, students, applicants, or campus visitors to provide their preferred pronouns.The Board of Regents says the steps taken will also ensure students and staffers will not be 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.”
Republican Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds signed a bill in June to initiate a “comprehensive study and review of the diversity, equity and inclusion programs and efforts of each institution of higher learning.” Similarly, Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis — who says DEI stands for “Discrimination, Exclusion, and Indoctrination” — signed a bill into law in May to eliminate DEI in public Florida colleges.As did Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott in June.Hopefully, other governors follow suit.
