(Cedar Rapids, IA) -- The City of Cedar Rapids is suspending its DEI programs.
In a statement released Friday, the city says they're preemptively pausing diversity, equity, accessibility, and inclusion programs based on the Trump administration's policy towards DEI initiatives.
The city isn't specifying which programs will be affected or when.
City leaders say they want to avoid having DEI programs put funding for other city services at risk.
Former members of the Cedar Rapids Civil Rights Commission are calling the decision wrong and unacceptable.
