2023 Iowa Code › Title VII - EDUCATION AND CULTURAL AFFAIRS › Chapter 262 - BOARD OF REGENTS › Section 262.81 - Legislative intent.

262.81 Legislative intent.
The general assembly recognizes that educational programs designed to enhance the interrelation and cooperation among cultural, racial, and ethnic groups in society require the contribution and active participation of all ethnic and racial groups. The general assembly also recognizes that failure to include minority representation at the faculty level at the state universities contributes to cultural, racial, and ethnic isolation of minority students and does not reflect the realities of a multicultural and diverse society. Therefore, the “Regents’ Minority and Women Educators Enhancement” program is established to assist in the recruitment and retention of faculty that more adequately represents the diverse cultural, racial, and ethnic makeup of society and to improve the education of all students.

1. The board of regents shall establish a program to recruit minority educators to faculty positions in the universities under the board’s control. The program shall include but is not limited to the creation of faculty positions in all areas of academic pursuit.
2. The board of regents shall also establish a program to create faculty opportunities for women educators at the universities under the board’s control. The program shall include but is not limited to the creation of faculty positions in targeted shortage areas. The board of regents shall also develop and implement, in consultation with appropriate faculty representatives, tenure, promotion, and hiring policies that recognize the unique needs of faculty members who are principal caregivers to dependents.
3. As used in this section, “minority educator” means an educator who is a minority person as defined in section 261.102.

262.91 Legislative intent.
The general assembly recognizes that universities must provide an environment that enables all students to have an equal opportunity to succeed. The general assembly also recognizes that, because of inequalities in educational preparation, economic factors, and social circumstances, not all young Iowans have the same degree of access to Iowa’s higher education system. The general assembly further acknowledges that an early intervention system using public school districts, community agencies, and other state institutions can be useful in preparing young students to succeed in college. Therefore, the “College-bound” program is established to ensure that the state’s universities and students’ local communities become involved early in a student’s life by promoting and informing students about the opportunities in higher education, so that lack of adequate personal resources is not a barrier to attending college for young Iowans.

1. The board of regents shall establish or contract to establish college-bound programs to provide Iowa minority students with information and experiences relating to opportunities offered at the regents’ universities. Programs developed may include, but are not limited to, the following elements:
a. Reinforcement of efforts to attract undergraduate students from age groups currently served by traditional methods of outreach which use high school and community college services.
b. Extension of traditional student recruitment methods which are designed to encourage minority students in grades seven through twelve to pursue postsecondary academic courses of study.
c. Identification, at each of the regents’ universities, of courses of study to be targeted for the recruitment of minority students.
d. Offerings at the regents’ universities of innovative programs, which are experience oriented, for families with minority children.
2. The board of regents shall establish a voucher program for students in grades seven through twelve. Vouchers may be obtained by any qualified secondary student at any regents’ university upon completion of a college-bound program provided under subsection 1. Students may receive one voucher for each program. One or more vouchers entitle a student to priority over other persons applying for grants under the Iowa minority academic grants for economic success program established in section 261.101. Vouchers shall be submitted with the grant application within one year after a student graduates from high school at any higher education institution which offers grants under the Iowa minority academic grants for economic success program. Vouchers earned can only be used by the person who participated in the college-bound voucher program and are not transferable. Vouchers issued by a university under this program shall be signed by the president of the university.
3. The board of regents shall adopt rules to establish program guidelines for the universities under the board’s control and for the administration and coordination of program efforts. Rules adopted shall include methods of recording data relating to voucher recipients and making the data available to the college student aid commission.

262A.1 Declaration of insufficient state revenue.
The general assembly hereby determines that the annual revenues of the state are insufficient to finance the immediate building requirements and other facilities and utilities services requirements of the institutions of higher learning under the jurisdiction of the state board of regents and in order to provide these buildings, facilities and utilities services when they are needed, it is necessary to authorize the issuance of revenue bonds by the state board of regents, subject to the restrictions and limitations hereinafter set forth. It is the intent of the general assembly that revenue bonds issued for academic and administrative buildings and facilities and utilities services shall supplement and not supplant legislative appropriations for the same or similar purposes.
