Exclusive: Gov. Greg Abbott explains his fight against diversity hiring programs on college campuses
from using diversity, equity and inclusion programs, he is adamant that doesn’t mean he’s against diversity on college campuses and in the government.
In the past, many institutions thought they were hiring people based on merit when they were really hiring and promoting people based on how “they fit” with the organization said David Hinojosa, the Director of the Educational Opportunities Project at the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law in Washington, D.C. That often meant decisions reflected the biases of the people doing the hiring, he said.
First, Texas Tech University officially removed diversity, equity, and inclusion statements from faculty hiring requirements. “Unfortunately we’re paying for these things that we know are bad,” State Sen. Mayes Middleton, R-Galveston, said during a panel discussion of the matter put on Thursday by the conservative Texas Public Policy Foundation in Austin. “The state of Texas shouldn’t be paying for that.”
