In August 2020, Iowa Law’s Anti-Racism Action Committee recommended the school ask faculty about their contributions to diversity, equity, and inclusion in faculty evaluations. On October 12, 2020, FIREwrote to Iowa Law, urging the law school to not implement the committee’s recommendation, as it could serve as an ideological litmus test for faculty. From a public records request, FIRElearned that the law school already added the question to faculty evaluations, but claims it is optional. FIREwrote Iowa Law again on October 11, 2021, explaining that it may be unclear to faculty that the DEI question is optional and that it could still serve as a litmus test. On January 21, 2022, Iowa Law responded to FIREthat faculty are not required to include a diversity statement in their evaluations.
