The University of Iowa brings together in common pursuit of its educational goals persons of many nations, races and creeds.

The University shall work cooperatively with the community in furthering this principle.

b. Advise on establishing and coordinating educational programs in the area of equal human rights.

c. Where no other grievance procedure exists, receive complaints of alleged violations of human rights by individuals or agencies within, or related to the University, and after appropriate investigation either serve as mediator in such disputes or recommend appropriate action within the University, guided by the statement of functions and procedures in Sections 10.123 and 10.124.
