Texas Governor: Universities Cannot Use Diversity, Equity or Inclusion in Hiring

Inclusive and equitable institutions that use diversity, equity and inclusion in their hiring benefit everyone, and a recent directive from the Texas governor saying otherwise is “grossly misconstruing” federal anti-discrimination law, a higher education diversity official said.

Paulette Granberry Russell, president of the National Association of Diversity Officers in Higher Education, came out strongly against a Feb. 4 directive from the office of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott that called it illegal for state agencies and public universities to use diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in hiring decisions.

In a directive, Abbott’s office stated that DEI has been used in recent years to favor some demographic groups “to the detriment of others.” The directive states that employment decisions should be based on merit without additional DEI consideration.

Points to ponder:

1. "Diversity, equity and inclusion" are just code words for RACISM. PERIOD. And they VIOLATE the Civil Rights Act.

2. This was Dr. King's dream: https://www.npr.org/2010/01/18/122701268/i-have-a-dream-speech-in-its-entirety

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

So far, Texas has reached that dream, at least in the law.

This is true progress. I love it.

The easily triggered, uneducated liberals here are speechless on this thread.

I like the sound of that.
