Iowa bill mandates regents institutions to publicly post course syllabi online, including instructor names, course requirements, and reading.
The bill, known as the Syllabus Transparency Act, requires Iowa's regents institutions to make course syllabi available online for all undergraduate courses. Each syllabus must include the instructor's name, a description of major course requirements, and any required or recommended reading materials. The information must be accessible from the institution's homepage with no more than five links, searchable by keywords, and available without requiring registration or login. The syllabi must be posted by the first day of classes and updated promptly when changes occur.
