They may not agree on how to define DEI, but that’s no problem for Kansas lawmakers attacking it

Kansas lawmakers are joining fellow Republicans in other states in trying to restrict diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives on university campuses, but they've drafted their proposals to avoid having to agree on how to define DEI. The Kansas House planned to vote Thursday on a bill aimed at preventing universities, community colleges or technical colleges from basing a student's admission or an employee's hiring or promotion on any statement or pledge about diversity, equity or inclusion. While the bill includes those words, it also says universities cannot require a statement about “any political ideology or movement.”
