A bill for an act prohibiting private institutions of higher education that participate in the Iowa tuition grant program from establishing diversity, equity, and inclusion offices.

HF 854 prohibits private colleges participating in Iowa's tuition grant program from establishing, sustaining, or staffing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) offices. The bill allows exceptions for academic courses, student organization activities, research, health services, and compliance with federal law or accreditation standards. Violations could result in loss of tuition grant eligibility, requiring institutions to correct issues within 30 days or face exclusion from the program. This directly affects private higher education institutions receiving state tuition aid, with enforcement handled through the attorney general's office.
