Education (Government Transparency)

This bill, the "Syllabus Transparency Act," requires Iowa regents institutions to publish key syllabus details for every undergraduate course online. It mandates that each syllabus include the instructor's name, descriptions of major assignments/exams, required readings, and lecture topics. The information must be freely accessible without login, searchable, available on the institution's homepage within five clicks, and posted by the first day of each term - remaining online for at least one year. The law takes effect December 31, 2025, directly affecting public universities and their students and faculty.
