HF 295 prohibits accrediting bodies from penalizing Iowa colleges for abiding by state law, and it provides legal recourse for schools harmed by accrediting bodies that fail to comply with this statute. CPAC believes that schools should not be harmed for following directives to remove D.E.I. programs and supports this bill. HF 295 was passed by the Iowa House of Representatives in a 65-32 vote on March 18, 2025, and it was signed into law by Governor Kim Reynolds.
