Prairie Dog’s Honor Roll for 2020 When the Trump administration escalated its war against diversity and inclusion programs, Iowa State University wasted little time in terminating John-Paul Chaisson-Cardenas, as director of Iowa’s 4-H program in the ISU Extension Office. The native of Guatemala had long reached out to youth of color and had pointed out incidents of discrimination and indifference by ISU administrators, but his creation of a transgender youth policy gave ISU the excuse it needed to fire him. Two years later, the State Appeal Board agreed to settle Chaisson-Cardenas’ lawsuit for $550,000 and changed his official departure from termination to voluntary resignation.
