SF 2303 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act providing for a review of undergraduate general education requirements and core curricula at regents institutions and authorizing elimination of certain required courses and course requirements.

SF 2303 requires Iowa's state board of regents to review all undergraduate general education requirements and core curricula at public universities (regents institutions) by fall 2028. The review specifically directs institutions to identify required courses containing diversity, equity, inclusion, or critical race theory-related content, with the board having discretion to order the elimination of such courses. The board must establish all necessary policies by December 31, 2026, to implement this review process. This bill directly affects course requirements at Iowa's public universities and aims to modify general education curricula through a state-mandated review.
