CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (KCRG) - Following a three-hour closed session, the Iowa Board of Regents announced its decision on faculty members who had praised Charlie Kirk’s death on social media.

The board has ordered three universities to launch immediate investigations into their faculty and staff to determine if they broke social media policies.

All staff under investigation will be placed on administrative leave or removed from the classroom.

Another member added, while some of the social media posts are “appalling”, the First Amendment protects those statements.
