IOWA CITY The same week dental students are protesting diversity failures in their college, lawmakers are shredding the school for free speech suppression, and new climate survey results reveal a vastly experience for campus minorities, the University of Iowa announced Liz Tovar will become its executive officer for diversity, equity and inclusion.
Tovar, who arrived at the UI in 2013 and had been associate athletics director for student-athlete academic services, was named interim associate vice president for diversity, equity and inclusion in August after years of turnover in that post and a controversial departure in 2019.
TaJuan Wilson resigned the post just six weeks after his start in June 2019, signing a settlement with the university that allowed him to continue looking for work which he eventually found at Georgia Southern University while earning his $224,000 salary.
