Rep. Taylor Collins asked the presidents of the institutions how much the top DEI administrators were paid before estimating that approximately $750,000 was spent across the three universities. “I just have a hard time when I see a $32 million request and I find $750,000 for four people,” Collins remarked.Rep. Carter Nordman explained, “We are interested in looking at every aspect of taxpayer dollars being spent at our regent universities. Everything,” which includes “What they spend on programs, DEI, other administrative costs.”
