Legislators in a number of states are responding to citizens who don’t want their money squandered on toxic DEI ideology. How well are they doing?

In today’s Martin Center article, Shannon Watkins takes a look at bills or enactments in West Virginia, Arizona, South Carolina, Iowa, Kentucky, and Utah:

Utah’s bill stands out, however, because of the additional items it requires institutions to do. Institutions, for example, shall “publish the titles and syllabi of all mandatory courses, seminars, classes, workshops, and training sessions on the institution’s website in an online database readily searchable by the public.” An additional requirement is that employees be trained in the differences between “personal political advocacy [and] an institution’s business and employment activities.” Provisions that promote viewpoint diversity, free speech, and civic education are included in the bill. Institutions must also conduct a campus-climate survey that evaluates students’, faculty’s, and staff members’ experiences and perceptions of free speech and academic freedom on campus.

If you want to see how your state is doing or to get some ideas if it needs to start the battle against the DEI contagion, you’ll find good analysis here.
