Gov. Reynolds responds to video comments on DEI instruction at The University of Iowa
DES MOINES— Governor Kim Reynolds issued the following statement in response to a video published by Fox News, Tuesday evening:
“I’m appalled by the remarks made in this video by a University of Iowa employee who blatantly admits to defying DEI restrictions I signed into law on May 9, 2024. I already issued a letter to the Board of Regents on January 23, 2025, reminding university representatives to comply, not only with state law, but an executive order signed by President Trump ending implementation of DEI policies at public institutions. I will be referring this matter to Attorney General Brenna Bird for her review as it relates to Iowa’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Act.”
