In this session, lawmakers are trying to flex control over everything from when they can meet in special session to decisions about permanent displays in the Capitol Rotunda.
So far, the Senate has passed a bill that aims to limit DEI in public colleges and universities, and the House has introduced legislation that would bar universities and colleges from expending “any resources” to support DEI programs or DEI officers.
The bill would allow the attorney general to bring a civil action against a university or college that penalized a student or employee for rejecting any of 16 “discriminatory” concepts enumerated in the bill.
