A ban on diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives in higher education has resulted in over 100 job cuts across Texas university campuses, setting a trend for similar actions in various states amid an election year. Governor Greg Abbott’s law led to the closure of the Division of Campus and Community Engagement at the University of Texas at Austin, resulting in the termination of over 60 staff members. Other Texas universities followed suit, with approximately 36 positions eliminated collectively. Additional changes are expected following recent announcements at the University of Texas at Dallas. Lawmakers and university officials have expressed conflicting views on the matter, reflecting a broader national debate on diversity programs in educational institutions.
