saying that considering diversity, equity and inclusion in hiring practices violated federal and state employment laws and barring them from hiring on factors "other than merit." Legal experts have said the governor’s office mischaracterized the legal practices employers use when considering diversity in their hiring.
Creighton's bill prohibits these statements statewide. It also says a university may not create or have a diversity, equity and inclusion office that considers anything but "color-blind and sex-neutral hiring processes," conducts trainings or activities related to "race, color, ethnicity, gender identity or sexual orientation," unless those trainings are approved in writing by the university's general counsel and the Texas Attorney General.
"The elevation of DEI offices on campuses have only furthered divides and created a chilling effect on open dialogue," Creighton said in the press release. "This legislation will ensure Texas college campuses are environments that are open to differing ideas, foster meaningful, reasoned dialogue, and encourage intellectual discourse."
