Amidst growing concerns over the impact of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs across various sectors, there seems to be a shift in the approach towards these initiatives. Recently, the University of Iowa made a significant announcement signaling a change in its academic structure.

Last week, the university revealed its decision to consolidate the Gender, Women’s, and Sexuality Studies department into a new major called Social and Cultural Analysis, as outlined in a press release on December 17, 2024.

This move involves merging the existing departments of American Studies and Gender, Women’s, and Sexuality Studies, along with the majors in American Studies and Social Justice, to establish a more comprehensive major in Social and Cultural Analysis.

According to the university’s proposal, the restructuring will involve closing down the departments of American Studies and Gender, Women’s, and Sexuality Studies, as well as discontinuing the current majors in American Studies and Social Justice, which collectively have fewer than 60 students. Instead, a new major in Social and Cultural Analysis will be introduced.

This decision aligns with the recommendations put forth by the Iowa State Board of Regents in 2023, which aimed at reevaluating and scaling back DEI initiatives within the state.

A task force comprising three members of the Iowa Board of Regents presented a series of recommendations calling for a revamp of DEI programs across public universities in Iowa.

In a related development, the state legislators passed the Department of Education’s budget in April, which included provisions to restrict DEI programs and positions in public institutions.

While the decision to close the Gender, Women’s, and Sexuality Studies department may seem like a step towards compliance with the new regulations, the integration of its focus into a broader major raises questions about the underlying motives and the persistence of the DEI agenda within the academic landscape.
