Nine months after University of Iowa students began the #DoesUIowaLoveMe campaign, students continue to report little to no improvement in inclusion on campus.
The social media campaign “#DoesUIowaLoveMe” encouraged students of color and members of the LGBTQ+ community to share the discrimination they experienced on campus on Instagram and Twitter.
The Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion developed a 2019-2021 Action Plan. This action plan focused on spreading awareness of cultural events, as well as expanding the number of marginalized students on campus, like the Women’s Climbing Clinic. However, sophomore Anna Leahy reports not knowing about the LGBTQ+ safe spaces on campus and VP of the African Student Association Ayotoluwafunmi Ogunwusi says the discrimination has gotten worse.
