DEI ban ‘doesn’t do anything’: Undercover video raises legal questions about UT Austin
The University of Texas at Austin says it has “fully implemented” the state’s diversity, equity, and inclusion ban in response to a recent undercover video that showed a gender studies employee saying the law “doesn’t do anything yet other than create more work.”
But Accuracy in Media President Adam Guillette told The College Fix that the law itself is part of the problem. His organization investigates universities in conservative led states “to find out if they’re following the law.”
“The Texas DEI ban isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on,” Guillette said in a recent interview. “DEI staffers have simply changed job titles and DEI is still being promoted in the curriculum.”
However, Guillette also said AIM does not believe Texas universities are fully complying with the state’s restrictions.
“Multiple administrators have lost their jobs after appearing in our videos,” he said. “It’s clear that these universities think they’re above the law.”
