The Iowa legislature could soon target private universities for maintaining Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) offices. If enacted, the bill would be the first state law penalizing private universities for having DEI offices.

House File 2488 removes funding through the Iowa Tuition Grant from private universities that maintain DEI offices. The Iowa House passed the bill on Tuesday.

According to the bill, DEI refers to “[a]ny effort to manipulate or otherwise influence the composition of the faculty or student body with reference to race, sex, color, or ethnicity, apart from ensuring colorblind and sex-neutral admissions and hiring in accordance with state and federal antidiscrimination laws.”

Adam Guillette, the president of Accuracy in Media (AIM), a watchdog organization, indicated his support for this bill on Thursday. In August, AIM published an undercover video showing an Iowa State University official claiming DEI remains at the school.

The organization “strongly supports any effort to remove hateful, divisive DEI from education,” Guillette told Campus Reform.
