Last week, the Indiana Senate passed a bill targeting diversity, equity and inclusion across state government, including in K-12 and higher education. Senate Bill 289 would ban DEI consultants, internal DEI audits and any offices or workers whose “primary duties” include providing noncredit DEI programs at public colleges and universities. The state attorney general could ask courts to fine institutions up to $250,000 per violation.

The state Senate Democrats—outnumbered four to one by their Republican counterparts in Indianapolis—gave speech after speech Thursday against the legislation. Senator Shelli Yoder, the minority caucus leader, said the bill was about “silencing essential truths and reinstating discrimination under the false pretense of neutrality, or words like ‘merit.’”

But Dr. Tyler Johnson, a Republican senator and one of the bill’s authors, said SB 289 would actually combat discrimination. He said he was inspired to take action more than two years ago, after a student he mentored felt discriminated against in medical school admissions at an Indiana university that Johnson declined to name. “Our goal here is to remove divisive and discriminatory top-down manipulative ideology,” Johnson said. “You can’t fix discrimination with discrimination.”

As the vote on the measure loomed, Democrats suddenly moved to oust the Senate president—Indiana lieutenant governor Micah Beckwith—as chair of the session for a post on X celebrating the bill’s passage before it actually passed. “HOOSIER REVOLUTION: Indiana Just TORPEDOED Woke Indoctrination!” the post began. “The Indiana Senate just dropped the hammer on the radical DEI racket with SB 289—and the left is LOSING IT. No more taxpayer-funded race hustling.”

The Democrats’ ouster attempt failed and the bill passed 34 to 13; it still has to pass the Indiana House and be signed by the governor to become law.

PEN America, a free speech and academic freedom advocacy group, has raised concern about SB 289, including a provision that it says “broadly prohibits faculty and staff from ‘promoting, embracing or endorsing stereotypes,’ using language so vague it could severely restrict classroom instruction and discussion.”

The bill is just one example—though perhaps the closest to passage so far—of renewed efforts by Republican lawmakers in multiple states to enact legislation to diminish DEI. Donald Trump began his second term as president with executive orders and funding freezes targeting DEI, but these federal actions have met resistance in the courts. Now some states are taking up the fight, joining Florida, Texas and other states that, even before Trump retook office, already broadly banned DEI from public institutions. Some states are further proposing bills targeting things that Trump hasn’t directly gone after, including faculty tenure.

Amy Reid, senior manager of the Freedom to Learn program at PEN America and former chair of the faculty at New College of Florida—which has been reshaped by the Florida governor’s conservative board appointees—listed multiple concerning bills in a few states.

“What we’re seeing is less a response to changes in Washington than an acceleration of the movement to censor higher education at the state level,” Reid told Inside Higher Ed. “The slew of recently introduced bills in Iowa, Indiana and Ohio have broad and dire implications for free speech on college and university campuses.”

Here is some introduced or planned state legislation to watch:

Ohio

In 2023 and last year, Buckeye State faculty, students and administrators pushed back against Senate Bill 83, a wide-ranging piece of public higher education legislation designed to ban mandatory DEI programs, weaken tenure protections and—at least in some of its multiple amended versions—outlaw faculty strikes.

At an over-seven-hour-long state Senate hearing in April 2023, more than 100 people spoke out against SB 83, and hundreds more had signed up to speak. The Senate passed a version of the bill the next month, but the House sat on it and the legislation died.

In the current legislative session, however, Republican senator and Higher Education Committee vice chair Jerry Cirino has filed similar legislation as Senate Bill 1. And Ohio has a new House leader who might support SB 1’s passage: former senator Matt Huffman, who voted for SB 83.

Olivia Wile, press secretary for Ohio’s House majority caucus, didn’t say whether Huffman supports SB 1, but noted, “Higher education reform is an important issue for this General Assembly. We’ll take a look at [the bill] when it reaches the House.”

The 75-page SB 1 would, among other things, ban affirmative action in hiring as well as DEI “offices” and “departments” (the legislation doesn’t define the terms), scholarships that use DEI “in any manner,” and DEI trainings and orientations. Cirino told Inside Higher Ed that the new bill goes further in dismantling DEI than SB 83 would have.

“It’s institutionalized discrimination and [is] consuming an awful lot of money and time and effort in our universities,” Cirino said. “So an all-out ban on DEI programs and expenditures is in the bill now.”

He wants students to have equal opportunity, he said. He noted the prevalence of racism in the 1950s and ’60s, then said, “I think, prior to DEI, we were doing very well on our way to correcting a lot of those bad practices. But, again, you cannot solve a past discrimination by discriminating now against another group to make up for it.”

SB 1 supports one kind of diversity: “intellectual diversity,” which it defines as “multiple, divergent and varied perspectives on an extensive range of public policy issues.” (A Republican-backed Indiana law passed last year also used this term.) SB 1 would require institutions to “ensure the fullest degree of intellectual diversity,” including in curriculum, general education requirements, student course evaluations, annual reviews and student learning outcomes.

The legislation would also ban faculty strikes and require post-tenure review, plus allow for “an immediate and for cause post-tenure review at any time for a faculty member who has a documented and sustained record of significant underperformance outside” their annual performance evaluation. It would also prevent unions from collectively bargaining over post-tenure review and layoff policies.

While Cirino said SB 1 isn’t a “challenge to tenure at all,” multiple Ohio faculty union leaders have publicly disagreed. In a joint letter, they wrote that SB 1 “would imperil the retention and recruitment of excellent faculty by essentially eliminating meaningful tenure.”

“SB 1 is a slightly revised version of SB 83 from the last General Assembly that remains an example of blatant government overreach and micromanagement of the university,” the unions said. “It is state-imposed censorship of what occurs in the university classroom, and will have a chilling effect on academic freedom and freedom of expression.”

SB 1 has yet to pass the Senate or House.

Iowa

Iowa Republicans already banned DEI offices at public colleges and universities last year and prohibited institutions from hiring or assigning anyone “to perform duties” of a DEI office. But they may go further this year.

In November, Iowa House Speaker Pat Grassley created a Higher Education Committee, whose chairman, Taylor Collins, has promised a “comprehensive review” of colleges and universities.

Among Collins’s proposed bills this legislative session is House Study Bill 63, which would require that general education requirements “do not distort significant historical events or include any curriculum or other material that teaches identity politics or is based on theories that systemic racism, sexism, oppression, or privilege are inherent” in U.S. or Iowan institutions.

Collins has also proposed House Study Bill 53, under which public colleges and universities couldn’t “require or constrain students to enroll” in DEI or CRT-related courses for “any academic degree program”—unless the program title “clearly establishes its course of study as primarily focused on racial, ethnic or gender studies.” That bill would also ban institutions from requiring, soliciting or incentivizing faculty to apply or participate in DEI or CRT “practices” or include DEI- and CRT- “related content in any course.”

Collins didn’t return Inside Higher Ed’s requests for comment. The bills have yet to pass either legislative chamber.

The Iowa committee was visited last month by a policy analyst for the Manhattan Institute—the conservative think tank home to anti-DEI activist Christopher Rufo. The analyst criticized “activist-bent courses” and said, “Public universities in Iowa are no exception to pushing students into accepting progressive views and ideas as unquestionable truth,” according to a testimony transcript the think tank posted online. (Indiana’s SB 289 contains language similar to the Manhattan Institute’s 2023 model legislation.)

Jesse Arm, the think tank’s executive director of external affairs and chief of staff, said that analyst was invited to testify. Asked about the organization’s involvement in particular legislation, Arm said he’s “not familiar with the specifics of each state and their given bill” and said, “The role of Manhattan Institute is really to sort of serve as an incubator of ideas.” He said, “If lawmakers take inspiration from our reports or things that come out in our affiliate magazine, City Journal, and run with them, that’s great, but we’re not an aggressive 50-state activist operation with operatives on the ground.”

North Dakota

The current version of House Bill 1437 would ban tenure for any faculty member hired after July 1, 2026, at North Dakota’s two-year institutions, which the legislation defines as Bismarck State College, Dakota College at Bottineau, Lake Region State College, North Dakota State College of Science and Williston State College.

“I don’t see any advantage to the students to have somebody who can basically hide behind a protection where they could almost never be let go,” said state representative Mike Motschenbacher, the bill’s lead sponsor.

But Motschenbacher’s original iteration of the bill doesn’t seem to be moving forward. He shared with Inside Higher Ed a proposed amended version that wouldn’t ditch tenure but would require post-tenure reviews every three years for tenured faculty at both two- and four-year public institutions. The post-tenure review committees wouldn’t be allowed to have more than two faculty on them, so they could include many nonfaculty staffers.

“I fully expect to get enough support to get it through the House chambers here,” Motschenbacher told Inside Higher Ed, adding, “It’s really hard to say” what the prospects are in the Senate.

In 2023, the North Dakota House overwhelmingly passed a bill that would have allowed the presidents of Dickinson State University and Bismarck State College to fire tenured faculty members without any review from a faculty committee. But the Senate didn’t follow suit.

Texas

It’s unclear what form legislation will take in Texas, where in 2023 Republicans passed a sweeping ban on public college and university DEI programming. But as The Texas Tribune has reported, Governor Greg Abbott has indicated he’s interested in erasing the tradition of faculty involvement in hiring.

“College professors have increasingly pushed woke agendas,” Abbott said during his last State of the State address. “They have too much influence over who is hired to educate our kids. We need legislation that prohibits professors from having any say over employment decisions.”

Abbott’s press office didn’t return Inside Higher Ed’s requests for comment.

Years after the death of George Floyd shined a spotlight on societal inequities, diversity professionals say some companies are turning their backs on the progress that's been made to address them.

Madison Butler is one of the many diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) professionals that companies previously brought on their payroll to ensure their business is equitable and accessible for people of all backgrounds.

But in recent months, Butler said she has found it increasingly hard to find work -- and she's not alone.

DEI positions have been disproportionately hit by layoffs across industries, but particularly at tech companies, which have faced financial challenges as sales slowed from the blistering pace attained during the pandemic.

When Butler reached out to DEI professionals who planned to hire her for consulting, she said companies have told her: "'Oh, this person is no longer with the company.' 'Oh, this person has been laid off.' 'Oh, this person no longer works here effective last month.'

Melody, who is using only her first name for privacy reasons, is also a DEI professional and said she was laid off along with others on her DEI team within just a few months of their hiring.MORE: DEI: What does it mean and what is its purpose?

"It's difficult to be somewhere for a brief period of time and feel like you didn't even have the time to make the impact you wanted to make," Melody told ABC News.

"The workplace is so full of human beings and we're not robots," she added. "We definitely need people at work who can help us feel like we belong there."

Nationwide call to action

George Floyd, a Black man, was killed by a Minneapolis police officer in May 2020 during an arrest. His death prompted a nationwide movement in which protesters demanded individuals and organizations alike take action in addressing societal injustices that impact historically marginalized groups.

To do this, some companies sought out the expertise of DEI professionals like Butler and Melody.

"We suddenly saw everyone coming out of the woodwork wanting to hire a lot of them, hiring inaugural DEI folks," Melody said. "And you had to wonder, like, are people actually ready for this? Or is this a trend that we're seeing?"

DEI initiatives are often intended to address workplace culture and conditions, such as inaccessibility in the workplace for disabled people, poor retention rates for workers of color and other inequalities faced by marginalized groups.MORE: Rise in anti-LGBTQ hate and extremism captured in new reports

From September 2019 to September 2020, job postings for diversity, inclusion and belonging positions on the hiring website Indeed rose by 56.3%, the company said.

A LinkedIn study found that chief diversity and inclusion officer positions grew by 168.9% from 2019 to 2022.

The rapid organizational movement toward addressing inequalities was initially exciting for DEI professionals. But in just a couple of years, that excitement wavered as growth rapidly fell apart.

"The honeymoon is over," Cecil Howard, a DEI consultant and former chief diversity officer at the University of South Florida, told ABC News.

"Right after George Floyd's killing, everybody who didn't have a diversity office quickly created a diversity office," he added. "A few years later, they started realizing, 'We checked the box and things are a little quieter now.'"

DEI begins to disappear

Starting in late 2020 -- months after the killing of Floyd set off a racial reckoning -- a host of companies escalated cuts of DEI professionals, a survey of more than 600 companies from data firm Revelio Labs found.

Last year, the layoffs accelerated significantly, the study found.MORE: Where guaranteed income programs are growing in the US

One in three DEI professionals lost their roles over a one-year period ending in December, the survey said. Over that period, the study added, non-DEI workers experienced a relatively lower attrition rate of 21%.

The job losses owe to several trends: a sluggish economy that prompted cost cuts, a softening of the scrutiny that held corporations to account over racial justice and a rise of conservative backlash against DEI, some DEI professionals told ABC News.

"In 2020 a lot of organizations reacted to the market, reacted to social events taking place without really having a clear understanding of what DEI is and how it should be enabled in business," Christie Lindor, a diversity strategist and CEO of Tessi Consulting, told ABC News.

"When things get rough, these are the areas that go," Lindor added.

Speaking to laid-off DEI professionals, Howard noticed job losses concentrated among individuals who criticized an employer's diversity-related policies or offered ambitious ideas for reform, he said.

"The separations weren't coming from organizations that were really serious about enhancing their culture," he said, describing a chilling effect for DEI professionals: "We don't need you to be a voice; we need you to be a face."

At the same time, conservative elected officials such as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott began to target DEI initiatives.

DeSantis last month signed into law a bill that prohibits state or federal spending on DEI programs at public universities in Florida.

The acronym, DeSantis said, should be reinterpreted as "discrimination, exclusion and indoctrination."

In February, Abbott's office ordered state agencies to stop using diversity, equity and inclusion programs in hiring, calling them "illegal."

Abbott's chief of staff, Gardner Pate claimed these programs "proactively encourage discrimination in the workplace," and do the opposite of what they claim to do.

And in June, Abbott signed a ban on diversity offices in state-funded higher education institutions.

In a statement, a spokesperson from Abbott's office told ABC News that "the issue is not diversity – the issue is that equity is not equality, and DEI practices conflate the two."

The statement continued, "Some universities and woke professors have been using DEI to advance political agendas and exclude conservative viewpoints on college campuses. These efforts adversely affect our students, limit exposure to diverse thought, and destroy our education system."

DeSantis' office did not respond to ABC News' requests for comment.

Lindor accused elected officials like Abbott and DeSantis of "weaponizing" DEI for political purposes, calling conservative political attacks one of the "driving forces" behind cuts in the field.

Butler and Melody believe that anti-DEI policies intend to turn back progress made by marginalized groups toward equality.

"People fear losing power," said Butler. "So much of this work has to be centered around deconstructing things like white supremacy, deconstructing status quos. And those status quos and white supremacy protect people in positions of power."

Without these DEI policies, professionals fear that organizations may fall back into patterns that create unhealthy or exclusive work cultures that drive away diverse candidates, employees and customers alike.

"If we don't have employees that understand people of different cultures, different backgrounds – companies are going to find themselves losing good employees to discriminatory practices," said Brit Levy, a former DEI employee who was laid off from Meta.MORE: How Colorado Springs, with a history of hate, built LGBTQ safe spaces after the Club Q shooting

She continued, "It's going to be an uphill battle for retention. Employee morale is going to go down because now you have these employees that feel like targets they have targets on their back."

Companies choosing to slash DEI programs could face difficulty hiring candidates from underrepresented groups and understanding the needs of a diverse customer base, Lindor said.

"It's not just about being progressive as an organization," Howard said. "Start looking at the bottom line."

Some states that have banned workplace affirmative action -- a diversity initiative that allows employers to consider race as one factor in hiring -- saw that such bans negatively impacted diversity in the workplace, according to a Harvard study. The study analyzed the workforces of four state government following the ban and found that these states saw significant declines in the number of Black women, Latino men and Asian women working there.

Meanwhile, the number of white men in the workplaces increased, the study says.

Diversity has also proven to be good for business, according to several studies that indicate that companies that are more diverse are more innovative and in turn, more profitable.

Companies that fail to diversify could fall behind, especially in the tech industry, where a surge in the development of AI has heightened the importance of innovation, Lindor said.

"We're seeing more candidates who want to join companies that align with their values," Lindor said. "It's difficult for companies to authentically say DEI is a priority when they're cutting."

"We're going to start to see the results of that in the marketplace in the years to come," she added.

Thank you, Jeremy Barker and Above the Law, for this wonderful and thoughtful coverage of Legal Marketing Association - LMA International's #LMA23, notably our dynamite GC panel, moderated by conference co-chair Jennifer Petrone Dezso with panelists Descartes Systems Group's Peter V. Nguyen, Bates White Economic Consulting's Jodi Trulove, and Fender's Aarash Darroodi. Some great nuggets here for #lawfirm leaders, #attorneys, #legalmarketers, #businessdevelopment pros.

EXCERPT: Nearly 1,200 attendees packed the Diplomat Beach Resort in Hollywood, Florida, late last month for the Legal Marketing Association’s annual gathering.

The agenda was filled with programs exploring niche areas �� ESG guidance for firms, the science behind rainmaking, and DEI communications best practices, to name a few.

A keynote by the author Laura Gassner Otting and networking events like an ’80s dance party helped round out the three days of professional offerings (and good vibes).

“The energy and sense of community at this conference was unique, motivating and palpable,” LMA President Roy Sexton wrote on LinkedIn.

One perennial LMA favorite is the general counsel panel, and this year’s drew inspiration from daytime TV.

Presented on a festival-style stage, “How to Win Big at the Legal Marketing Gameshow” saw Jennifer Dezso of Thomson Reuters leading three GCs through a wide-ranging discussion of what law firms are doing right and what they’re getting wrong.

If there was one clear theme throughout the panel, it’s that private practice lawyers who show curiosity about their clients will score big points with general counsel.

Peter Nguyen, GC of the Descartes Systems Group, described curiosity as the key differentiator in evaluating the law firms he works with.

“I want to have that engagement,” he said. “I want you to really understand — want to understand — what it is about my business that you can help us with.”

This curiosity is often central to the value law firms provide.

That’s because general counsel aren’t looking to just get answers to legal questions. They want guidance based on an organization’s unique goals and circumstances.

“Sometimes lawyers are a little hesitant to actually weigh in and give an opinion on what you should do,” said Jodi Trulove, general counsel at Bates White LLC. “We want you to tell us what you think we should do, but you have to understand us first.”

For law firms looking to demonstrate this trait to potential clients, the RFP process provides one big opportunity.

Fender’s general counsel, Aarash Darroodi, described receiving template-based RFP responses from law firms — an approach he called “fundamentally a mistake.”

Instead, he would like to see a law firm respond to an RFP with an offer to come look at the company’s operations in-depth, gaining a better picture of his organization before a proposal is prepared.

More ... https://abovethelaw.com/2023/05/why-curiosity-is-key-for-business-development/?fbclid=IwAR0mSJdUXabZLnlSmFRhxKi8M4zFxHX9TiR2q4AD3O_MYLSPv5gJUXLvKgo

University of Houston leaders announced this week they would close the school's Diversity and Inclusion office and LGBTQ Resource Center on Aug.31 in light of recent legislation passed to erode diversity programs and services in the state. Instead, UH is creating a Center for Student Advocacy and Community to comply with state law. The university's announcement comes months before the state law is set to go into effect on Jan.1.

Filed as SB 17, the law bans diversity, equity, and inclusion offices in higher education institutions and prohibits departments from implementing mandatory training that includes content or programs referencing race, color, ethnicity, gender identity or sexual orientation. The law passed earlier this summer in the 88th legislative session and was signed by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott in June.

With its Center for Student Advocacy and Community, the University of Houston is set to become one of the first Texas higher education institutions to make swift changes ahead of the law's effectiveness. Interim Vice President for Student Affairs Daniel M. Maxwell released an email statement to UH community members on Wednesday saying the new on-campus center will be open for all students regardless of race, sexual orientation, or gender identity.

"In preparation of this law going into effect, student affairs staff and administrators began working this summer in consultation with other departments and offices across campus to ensure that our programs, activities, and services satisfy the requirements of SB17," Maxwell said.

BREAKING NEWS: Tropical storm Idalia to impact Cuba today then strengthen to major hurricane with potential landfall in Florida early Wednesday

"This center will make available wide-ranging advocacy, a support network for both undergraduate and graduate students, comprehensive basic needs services and resources, and facilitate a variety of events and programs to foster student success, achievement, and community building."

According to Maxwell, the center will specifically focus on academic access, leadership development, summer bridge programs, student success coaching, and various mentorship programs. The university released a draft policy on DEI initiatives and frequently asked questions about the law. The UH community is encouraged to give feedback on the plan and is open to input until Sept.20.

"They will be signed and finalized by University leadership shortly after the community review concludes," UH Senior Director of Media Relations Chris Stipes said in a statement to Chron.

In a meeting with the UH System Board of Regents, Vice Chancellor for Legal Affairs and General Counsel Dona Cornell explained to board members what they are permitted to do or say under the law. According to Cornell, state leadership would audit higher education institutions every four years to ensure they comply with SB17, and the UH system itself would conduct its own self-auditing process.

"You can't say, for example, 'commitment to diversity' in hiring," Cornell said. A few exceptions to the bill include academic course instruction, guest speakers, data collection, student recruitment or admissions, scholarly research, and more. Overall, Cornell described the law as "broad."

"It is a very emotional issue for a lot of people, and I recognize that, so we really tried to work with each constituency, if you will, across the system," Cornell said. "There are some things that we will no longer be doing, but the large majority of the programming that we provide and the activities that we have will continue."

Leading DEI Consulting Firms: Shaping Inclusive Cultures for the Future

In an era where diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are critical drivers of success, DEI consulting firms in Florida are at the forefront of shaping inclusive cultures for the future. These leading firms are instrumental in guiding organizations towards creating workplaces that value and embrace diversity.
