Abbott expected to sign bill ending DEI program support in higher education

Texas could have a new law that would end taxpayer support for diversity, equity, and inclusion programs at public colleges and universities.


Texas State Senator Brandon Creighton and Texas Rep. John Kuempel authored Senate Bill 17, which passed both chambers.


“The elimination of diversity, equity, and inclusion offices will result in millions in savings for taxpayers and restore a culture of free inquiry, meritocracy, equal opportunity, genuine innovation within Texas higher education,” Creighton said in a May 28 news release.
