DEI Questions in Texas

Texas State Senator Brandon Creighton, Chair of the Education Committee, is asking institutions of higher education to answer 5 questions:

• How has your institution ensured that there are no DEI offices or officers on campus, or no individual or organization performing the duties of a DEI office or officer?
• How has your institution worked to ensure that DEI training is not required for staff, students, and faculty?
• How has your institution acted to comply with the provision which prohibits providing preference on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin to an applicant for employment?
• How has your institution worked to ensure diversity statements cannot be considered for hiring or promotion?
• How has your institution been preparing for regular audits to comply with SB 17 that prohibits DEI at institutions of higher education in Texas?
