Black and Hispanic lawmakers condemned Gov. Greg Abbott's order to state universities and agencies to stop DEI policies in their hiring practices and called on major sports organizations to not host championship games in Texas until the order is rescinded.
Reynolds called these priorities misguided and an appeal to a far-right base in the Republican Party.
Diversity, equity and inclusion policies are developed to provide guidance in workplaces, government offices and college campuses on how to increase representation and foster an environment that emphasizes fair treatment to groups that have historically faced discrimination. DEI policies can include providing resources for underrepresented groups like people with disabilities, LGBTQ people and veterans.
Reynolds said higher education leaders in the state are afraid to speak out on the issue, adding that he’s received texts from many who said they did not want to publicly voice their concerns and appreciated the caucus being outspoken in support of diversity. The governor’s directive represents the latest effort by Republican leaders fighting against policies and academic disciplines that they have described as indoctrination of liberal politics within higher education. Pate said in his letter that DEI policies illegally discriminate against certain demographic groups — though he did not specify which ones — and are being used illegally to “proactively promote discrimination in the workplace.
