Introduced Session

This bill relates to the university of Iowa college of law, including priority for admission and reporting requirements. The bill requires the state board of regents to adopt a policy providing that not less than 80 percent of students accepted into the college of law be residents of Iowa or persons who were, prior to applying to the college of law, enrolled in an eligible postsecondary institution as defined in Code section 261E.2. The bill further requires that the board of regents adopt a policy giving priority for admission to residents of Iowa who apply to the college of law, and a policy requiring an application for admission to the college of law to include an applicant attestation. The bill requires the university of Iowa submit an annual report to the general assembly containing, for the immediately preceding calendar year, the number of applicants who are residents of Iowa who were accepted to the college of law and the number of applicants who are residents of Iowa who were not accepted, including a brief statement related to why each applicant was denied. The bill defines “resident of Iowa” as an individual who H.F. _____ graduated from an Iowa high school or an individual who has lived in Iowa for at least four consecutive years immediately preceding the date of beginning classes at the college.
