Ezra Totton, a Black chemistry professor, left a scholarship bequest to the institution upon his death in 1996"out of gratitude to the University of Iowa for educating him in its graduate chemistry program during the Jim Crow era," according to court documents.
Totton, for whom the scholarship was named, said the aid should go to "Black students majoring in the physical sciences, preferably chemistry."He left a similar scholarship bequest to the University of Wisconsin for“Black students majoring in Biochemistry.”
In January 2025, the university sought permission to modify the terms of the scholarship. It said in court documents that the U.S. Supreme Court's ban on race-conscious admissions "raised serious doubts about its ability to administer the scholarship going forward."
The high court's landmark ruling did not address scholarships or grants. But some state and university leaders quickly interpreted it as also barring aid awarded on a race-conscious basis.And the second Trump administration has sought to apply the decision to everything from housing to graduation ceremonies.
The state Supreme Court on Friday found that it is "at least 'impracticable' to administer the scholarship as is," but it ruled against the university's proposed change.
