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.
Under Senate and House bills introduced to the Kentucky General Assembly in January, all “discriminatory concepts” and all Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives would be banned from public universities in the state. This legislation comes as similar bills have become law across the country in states like Tennessee and Florida, the two states from where.
Herald-Leader Editorial: There are no white hoods this time around, just vague language that forces universities to pretend racism and discrimination have had no place in our history and need no redress.
