The Iowa Board of Regents has voted to take an axe to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs at state universities, scaling back or eliminating the controversial initiatives that many conservatives have panned as discriminatory or even neo-Marxist.
The nine-member board voted on Nov. 16 at a meeting in Cedar Falls, Iowa, to adopt a series of 10 recommendations (with one amendment) targeting DEI programs.
