The University of Iowa Division of Student Life has introduced new policy changes as the school year begins.
The Daily Iowan reports two new tiers for organization have been created; Campus Life Organizations and Registered Student Organizations. The change is intended to organize clubs and related social groups.
Campus Life Organizations are composed of student organizations with close ties to the UI, and Registered Student Organizations will regard groups that are mostly, if not totally, student-run with no close affiliation to the UI.
Effective this school year, only enrolled University of Iowa students will be allowed in student organizations, although non-students and community members will be allowed to participate in events hosted by student organizations.
A statement by the Division of Student Life describes the goal as defining and setting policies regarding student organizations and their relationship with the University, connecting peer and increasing access to resources and experiences.
A task force has been created to review the relationships of registered organizations and the University.
