UNI faculty warned of faux students recording ‘gotcha’ videos on DEI

CEDAR FALLS — The president of University of Northern Iowa’s faculty union Thursday distributed a warning to his campus membership about visitors posing as prospective students — trying to catch professors and department heads with “gotcha” questions about diversity, equity and inclusion. “We have heard reports that there was one or more people at UNI yesterday falsely presenting themselves as prospective students,” UNI journalism professor and United Faculty President Christopher Martin wrote in his Thursday email. “These people were visiting department heads and professors in their offices and perhaps sitting in on classes in the back. “The goal seems to have been to direct the conversation to topics like DEI to try to get ‘gotcha’ comments from faculty members,” Martin wrote. “Our concern is that these conversations may have been recorded and then edited to misrepresent what people said.” Martin’s message comes less than two weeks before the Nov. 3 midterm election and more than a year after Fox News in July 2025 aired an undercover video capturing a University of Iowa administrator denouncing new state DEI laws and sharing ways the university was still doing DEI work. That video appeared to have been taken by a person posing as
