[This is a new Alabama State Law! How cool! Jan]
University of Alabama system campuses are shutting down their diversity, equity and inclusion divisions to comply with a new law that bans public schools and universities in the state from funding DEI programs.
The law, SB 129, was signed in March by Republican Gov. Kay Ivey, who said at the time “I refuse to allow a few bad actors on college campuses – or wherever else for that matter – to go under the acronym of DEI, using taxpayer funds, to push their liberal political movement counter to what the majority of Alabamians believe.”
Taking effect Oct. 1, it states DEI concepts can still be discussed in the classroom, but cannot be compelled. It points out that nothing prevents students or faculty organizations “from hosting diversity, equity, and inclusion programs or discussions that may involve divisive concepts, provided that no state funds are used to sponsor these programs.”
AL.com reported all thee UA system campuses are shutting down their DEI offices and renaming them; no employees will be fired, instead they will be reassigned or directed to refocus their efforts on other priorities:
In Tuscaloosa, the [new] Division of Opportunities, Connections and Success has been opened and will be led by Christine Taylor, who formerly led the Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
And the University of Alabama at Birmingham is erecting a new Office of Access and Engagement has been erected, led by Paulette Dilworth, who formerly led the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
The University of Alabama at Huntsville, similarly, is shifting efforts toward recruiting students and engaging current students.
In a statement issued Monday by the University of Alabama, it describes the newly established Division of Opportunities, Connections and Success as helping “those who may face educational access and achievement challenges,” adding:
Opportunities – increasing access to higher education through heightened academic support and services for Alabama students and families with lower college attendance rates.
Connections – fostering campuswide initiatives on free speech and civil discourse.
Success – preparing students for the global workforce by enhancing skills and competencies sought by employers and by helping students and employees understand and effectively work with individuals from varying backgrounds.
“It’s important to note we will continue to provide resources and support to every member of our campus community, as our commitment to each individual’s success remains steadfast,” UA President Stuart Bell stated.
As The College Fix previously reported, the bill had sparked anger among Democrats and some students, sparking petitions and protests. Some even encouraged student athletes to avoid Alabama schools.
The bill came six-plus months after a report found the University of Alabama and Auburn University embrace DEI policies to the detriment of the quality of the schools.
