A ban on diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives in higher education in Texas has resulted in over 100 job cuts across university campuses, with similar policies being rolled out in other states during an important election year.
Following the law signed by Republican Gov. Greg Abbott last year, universities in Texas have been swift to comply. The University of Texas at Austin, one of the largest college campuses in the U.S., announced the closure of the Division of Campus and Community Engagement, leading to the termination of more than 60 staff members.
