Despite state and federal bans, University of Iowa staff are openly finding creative ways to keep diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs running—just under new names like “civic engagement.” In a newly surfaced undercover video, a university official admits that while the term “DEI” has disappeared from websites, the initiatives themselves haven’t gone anywhere. This has sparked a heated response from state leaders and triggered an internal investigation. For Iowa residents and students, this raises big questions: Should schools sidestep official bans to keep DEI values alive, or is this crossing a line? How do you feel about universities rebranding controversial programs? #Education #College #Iowa
