As we shared at the DEO meeting on Monday, the university has been directed by the Board of Regents to remove DEI references from all websites pending further review.

This includes all CLAS collegiate sites and all CLAS department sites, and any pages/content/media containing the terms DEI, diversity, equity, inclusion.

For efficiency and consistency, the CLAS MarCom team will edit/unpublish these pages and content on a site-by-site basis as needed to get us in compliance, maintaining an inventory of all changes as we go.

Our team will engage departments as needed for questions in that process.

We will also notify your department once your site updates have been made. In the interim if you have any questions, please reach out to Brynne Schweigel-Skeers and the rest of the CLAS MarCom team at clas-marcom@uiowa.edu.
