On a conference call with the Republican Party of Texas on Thursday night, Patrick said he too is ready to rid college campuses of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, or DEI, programs.And there is further momentum in the Texas House, where on Wednesday the far-right Freedom Caucus announced one of its priorities will be to “defund” DEI.
“DEI is also about making people feel seen, valued, and just as important as the next person who may be different from them,” said Dr. Dorinda Rolle, president of Rolle and Associates, a management consulting and training firm in San Antonio that specializes in DEI training. Abbott’s office this week sent a warning to the universities, alleging the programs are being manipulated to make hiring decisions that may go against state and federal employment laws.
“When a state agency adjusts its employment practices based on factors other than merit, it is not following the law,” he wrote. “Rebranding this employment discrimination as 'DEI' does not make the practice any less illegal.”
