The University of Iowa will end dorm communities next year for Black, Latino and LGBTQ+ students, according to local news reports.

Undergraduate dorms have “living learning communities” where Black, Latino, Native American and Asian American students can apply for housing or visit to study or attend events — open to all races.

They include scholarships aiding under-represented racial minorities, culturally themed dorm room floors and optional graduation ceremonies for Black, Latino, Native American and other college and high school groups.

The Hughes fire had begun that morning less than 5 miles from Ortega’s dorm in Pitchess Detention Center North, one of four lockups at the county’s sprawling Castaic jail complex.

Over the weekend, remaining students could be seen on “The Hill,” the northwest campus dorm area, packing their bags into bright yellow moving carts and placing luggage in Lyfts and Ubers.
