University of Alabama System Shutting Down DEI Offices to Comply With New Law
“Taking effect Oct. 1, it states DEI concepts can still be discussed in the classroom, but cannot be compelled.”
It’s amazing how quickly this happened in so many states once people knew the facts about DEI policies.
The College Fix reports:
University of Alabama system campuses shut down DEI offices to comply with new law
University of Alabama system campuses are shutting down their diversity, equity and inclusion divisions to comply with a new law that bans public schools and universities in the state from funding DEI programs.
The law, SB 129, was signed in March by Republican Gov. Kay Ivey, who said at the time “I refuse to allow a few bad actors on college campuses – or wherever else for that matter – to go under the acronym of DEI, using taxpayer funds, to push their liberal political movement counter to what the majority of Alabamians believe.”
Taking effect Oct. 1, it states DEI concepts can still be discussed in the classroom, but cannot be compelled. It points out that nothing prevents students or faculty organizations “from hosting diversity, equity, and inclusion programs or discussions that may involve divisive concepts, provided that no state funds are used to sponsor these programs.”
AL.com reported all thee UA system campuses are shutting down their DEI offices and renaming them; no employees will be fired, instead they will be reassigned or directed to refocus their efforts on other priorities:
In Tuscaloosa, the [new] Division of Opportunities, Connections and Success has been opened and will be led by Christine Taylor, who formerly led the Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
And the University of Alabama at Birmingham is erecting a new Office of Access and Engagement has been erected, led by Paulette Dilworth, who formerly led the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
The University of Alabama at Huntsville, similarly, is shifting efforts toward recruiting students and engaging current students.
