The Epoch Times: UT Austin Spends Over $13 Million on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Salaries: Documents
The University of Texas at Austin spends over $13 million on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) salaries for close to 200 jobs. The Division of Diversity and Community Engagement (DCE) at UT Austin paid 171 employee salaries totaling some $12.2 million, while another $1.4 million in salaries were paid to 14 associate deans called Coalition of Diversity Equity and Inclusion officers. Critics describe the spending as a bloated system siphoning money away from academics, but supporters say DEI and Critical Race Theory seek to make America more equitable by attacking the systems that allow discrimination against minorities.
DEI spending illustrates rampant DEI ideology on college campuses, even in red states like Texas. Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick wants to eliminate DEI offices on college campuses, and Gov. Greg Abbott’s office issued a memo in February saying that DEI has favored some demographic groups to the detriment of others. Critics describe DEI and CRT as Marxist-based ideologies that divide people into oppressors or victims based on race and gender, while supporters say the ideologies seek to make America more equitable. The bill must return to the Senate, where House and Senate bill versions will likely be reconciled in a committee before heading to Abbott’s desk for a signature.

Parlatore testified during grand jury proceedings about the FBI search of Mar-a-Lago, which led to a search warrant to assess whether Trump had illegally kept classified documents. Democrats and Republics recently squared off over more funding for the FBI

Red State: Who Will Blink First? McCarthy Says No Debt Ceiling Negotiations Until Biden Returns from Japan Summit

Biden remains blasé about the situation while the public wants a deal that includes measures to decrease the federal deficit. The stakes are high as June approaches, and the nation risks economic chaos should a deal not be reached.
