The move comes as cities and counties in the metro take a second look at their diversity, equity and inclusion programs in anticipation of a new law that imposes restrictions on those efforts across Iowa.
The bill, Gov. Kim Reynolds signed on May 27, seeks to root out DEI initiatives, policies, programs, hiring and school acceptance practices from governmental entities and public higher education institutions. The law puts Iowa among other GOP-led states that have joined President Donald Trump's push to dismantle DEI efforts across the public sector and pressure the private sector to follow suit.
Since Trump's return to the White House, nine other states have enacted anti-DEI laws, USA TODAY reported May 15. Even more have passed bills with similar intent through at least one chamber.
