The Skanner News - A Conservative Quest to Limit Diversity Programs Gains Momentum in States

An effort to limit diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives is gaining momentum in state capitals and college campuses. Tennessee became the latest state to act this week as the Republican governor signed a law prohibiting banks from considering a customer's participation in DEI training. That came shortly after the Democratic governor of Kansas allowed a bill to become law barring higher education institutions from using DEI statements in employment and admissions. A budget bill given final approval in Iowa seeks to ban DEI offices and programs in higher education. Republicans in about two dozen states have filed bills this year targeting DEI efforts.
