Would college sports be impacted by a Texas Senate proposal to dismantle diversity, equity and inclusion in higher education?
Some Democratic senators argued that the NCAA could ban the state’s beloved college athletic programs from participating in its games if Texas moved forward with attempts to do away with DEI efforts.
The Senate voted 19-12, along party lines, to pass a bill on Wednesday that would prohibit public universities and colleges from having DEI offices; using race or ethnicity in hiring; requiring job applicants to make diversity statements; or mandating any training related to race, ethnicity, gender identity or sexual orientation.
