Now University of Iowa under state investigation as US intensifies DEI fight across campuses

The University of Iowa is under investigation by the Iowa Attorney General’s Office following a complaint from Governor Kim Reynolds regarding alleged breaches of the state’s DEI law. A video showing university staff discussing methods to bypass diversity restrictions sparked the probe. The issue has drawn wider attention amid growing US debates over DEI policies in public universities. The university has pledged full cooperation with authorities and possible corrective action if violations are found.
