AMES, Iowa —
Iowa State University is planning to close its Diversity, Equity and Inclusion office this year.
Last November, the board of Regents issued 10 DEI directives to cut back spending throughout the state's three public universities. In response to that, Iowa State said it will be closing its DEI office in July.
The college is also removing five positions due to the directives, two of which are filled right now.
The change comes in response to a Iowa Board of Regents directive last year to abolish all “diversity, equity, and inclusion” initiatives at public universities that are not required for compliance with state law.
