Texas DEI bill for the new year
Bans DEI initiatives at public institutions of higher education
Effective Jan 01
Texas Senate Bill 17, known as the anti-DEI law, bans diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) offices, programs and training at publicly funded universities.
The initiative makes Texas the second state in the country to ban such higher education initiatives. Florida also banned DEI spending earlier this year.
According to the final text of the bill, universities can't create diversity offices or hire employees to conduct DEI work. They also can't require any DEI training as a condition for being hired or admitted. University practices must be "color-blind and sex neutral."
