Black leaders call on NCAA, others to boycott Texas over attacks on diversity hiring
Gary Bledsoe, president of the Texas NAACP, talks during a press conference held by the Texas Legislative Black Caucus Tuesday, Feb. 14, 2023 at the Capitol in Austin. The press conference was held to give leaders a chance to speak out against Gov. Greg Abbott's order asking state agencies to eliminate diversity policies from their hiring practices.The Texas NAACP is calling on professional sports and the National Collegiate Athletic Association to boycott Texas over Gov.
State Rep. Ron Reynolds, D-Missouri City, said the loss of revenue from those leagues in addition to more businesses getting involved will be critical to slowing down the sudden fast-moving effort to end diversity, equity and inclusion programs — or DEI — at public universities and colleges. But in a letter to colleges and state agencies earlier this month, Abbott’s office warned that DEI “ has been manipulated to push policies that expressly favor some demographic groups to the detriment of others.”
