Wisconsin’s GOP-led legislature is cutting the state’s higher education DEI positions — roles focused on fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion. Robin Vos, Wisconsin Assembly Speaker, initiated this drastic action, dubiously renaming DEI as “division, exclusion, and indoctrination”. This domino effect has led to a freezing of DEI hiring at the University of Wisconsin, the redirection of 43 DEI officials, and a ban on diversity statements on student applications. Vos maintains a strong stance, stating he’d ensure this deal’s enforcement or delay any further budget discussions.
