A bill for an act providing for a due process policy for faculty, staff, and students at regents institutions and for related disciplinary matters, and including effective date provisions.

This bill, the "Campus Due Process Act," requires Iowa's public universities (regents institutions) to implement standardized due process protections for faculty, staff, and students facing disciplinary action. It mandates that institutions guarantee constitutional due process rights - including the presumption of innocence, right to counsel, access to all evidence, and clear definitions of misconduct - during disciplinary proceedings, with limited exceptions. The bill also requires institutions to immediately refer felony-related disciplinary matters to law enforcement, set strict experience requirements for Title IX employees, and publicly post due process policies and annual violation reports on their websites. These changes apply to all disciplinary actions at Iowa's public universities and take effect December 31, 2026.
