The Board of Regents overseeing Iowa’s public universities has paused implementation of any new diversity, equity and inclusion programs at the state’s three major public universities as officials launch a review of them.
The March 14 announcement comes in the wake of a recently introduced bill in the Iowa House of Representatives that aims to halt spending on DEI initiatives in higher education.
“Over the next few months, the Board of Regents will initiate a comprehensive study and review of all Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) programs and efforts at the University of Iowa, Iowa State University and the University of Northern Iowa,” Board of Regents President Michael Richards stated in the announcement.

DEI director fired after rejecting ‘woke’ ideology speaks out: ‘I’m not going quietly’
https://www.thecollegefix.com/dei-director-fired-for-rejecting-woke-ideology/
"A former director in the Office of Equity, Social Justice and Multicultural Education at a community college in California says she was dismissed earlier this month for criticizing her department’s narrow DEI philosophy and attempting to bring in more perspectives."
And one more article from the College Fix:
“Republicans in Indiana have moved forward legislation to defund the Kinsey Institute located at Indiana University.
Former IU Professor Alfred Kinsey is considered the “father of the sexual revolution” and has faced criticism for collecting data from pedophiles and rapists.”
Lee can go any way she wants to but she just has to GO.
Defund, the only tool congress has and they should use it just like the people in Iowa have.
Defund.
And another college article:

“Woman arrested after stealing from student pro-life display”
It’s good to see the vandals arrested for once. It appears we are seeing a long-overdue push back against the DIE take-over of our universities.
Lee seems to be the only DIE administrator with any actual sense.
A quote in the article:
““In recent years neo-reconstructionist race(ist) hustlers have become dominant in educational discourse and beyond, threatening to push us backwards and further into the deeps of racial strife and division with a hyper-focus redefining racism as systematic and a promotion of equity over equality,” Lee wrote.
She identified as “neo-reconstructionists” writers Ibram Kendi and Robin DiAngelo who promote a particular kind of “anti-racism” that affirms that racism is “systemic, ever present, and cannot be overcome.””
Never mind. She is in kalifornia. Not even related to the article and I don’t know why it was even posted.
Inclusion was misleading since she was fired for just the opposite of what the Regents in Iowa are doing. She wasn’t woke enough for some reason for kalifornia.
Outstanding! I am glad to see my former state gettin’ at it!
