Iowa lawmakers propose bills to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in state colleges.

Iowa's House Higher Education Committee has introduced bills aiming to limit diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in state colleges. The bills propose mandating an "American history and civil government" course for undergraduates, reviewing programs for workforce alignment, and prohibiting required DEI or "critical race theory" courses. They also seek to rename general education categories and ensure courses do not promote theories of systemic racism or privilege.
