DEI Policies Paused
UT System has paused all new diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies and asked school leaders to provide reports on their current policies, KETK reports. Jandel Crutchfield, UTA assistant professor of social work, explained that research shows that DEI is more helpful than harmful. She would like to know more on the policies that may have potentially been misused.
