Iowa Senate Halts Bill to Cut Funding for Private Universities DEI Programs

Iowa senate lawmakers have halted a bill that aimed to cut state grant funding for private universities offering diversity, equity, and inclusion programs. The grants, which provide up to $7,500 per year to in-state students, were used by 28 private universities last year. The bill was rejected by a subcommittee, with members arguing that the funds should not be used as a tool to target schools and that pulling the funds would negatively impact students.
