Wisconsin lawmakers are going to look into diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts across the state.
The state’s Joint Legislative Audit Committee will hold a hearing tomorrow on a proposed DEI audit. The Republican-controlled legislature has made no secret of its dislike of diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, particularly on UW campuses. The Republican Assembly speaker has called DEI the new religion of the Left. Lawmakers famously held-back 32 million-dollars from the university that was supposed to be spent on DEI positions. Republicans say that money should be spent on getting people back to work.
