A bill for an act providing for a review by the state board of regents of academic programs offered at regents institutions.

HF 420 requires Iowa's State Board of Regents to review all undergraduate and graduate academic programs at public universities (regents institutions) by November 1, 2025. The review must determine if each program aligns with current and future workforce needs in Iowa, conducted with input from the Education and Workforce Development departments. The board must submit a report by November 30, 2025, recommending whether each program should remain unchanged, be eliminated, or be modified. This bill directly affects all academic programs at Iowa's public universities, focusing on aligning education with state workforce demands.
