“The law bars the universities from having DEI offices, having DEI-specific employees and spending money on DEI — except as required by law or for accreditation.”In a national racial reckoning that was revived more than a decade ago when a Black teenager named Trayvon Martin was shot and killed near Orlando, then- Iowa State University President Steven Leath in 2014 shared findings and recommendations from his campus’ “most comprehensive diversity study ever.
Reginald Stewart, earning $215,250 in that role his first year, developed initiatives to boost diversity through recruitment and retention of faculty, staff and students, among other things. “Restructure the central, universitywide offices to eliminate any DEI functions that are not necessary for compliance or accreditation,” is the first of 10 mandates the regents issued last fall in response to lawmaker concerns that Iowa’s public campuses are overspending on diversity.
On July 22, ISU officially closed its DEI office, university spokeswoman Angie Hunt said. The closure cut five positions, although only two of those posts were filled at the time.
