A bill for an act prohibiting courses and content relating to diversity, equity, inclusion, and critical race theory in general education requirements and core curricula at regents institutions.

This bill prohibits Iowa's public universities (regents institutions) from requiring courses containing content related to diversity, equity, inclusion, or critical race theory in general education programs. It specifically bans material promoting ideas like systemic racism, race-based privilege, or differential treatment based on race, and lists topics such as "systemic racism," "implicit bias," or "intersectionality" as prohibited. The state board of regents must establish this policy and review all general education curricula by December 2026, removing any required courses that include prohibited content. The law directly affects undergraduate students and faculty at Iowa's public universities by restricting mandatory course content in foundational education requirements.
