Jobs Lost After Texas DEI Ban were Women or People of Color
|
[Dallas Morning News] Most University of Texas System employees terminated due to Texas’ DEI ban were women and people of color, new documents show. The employees worked for diversity, equity and inclusion programs in public colleges and universities across the state but lost their jobs after such programs were banned by a new law that went into effect in January.
 The demographics of the staffers impacted most is not too surprising given those called to such work, experts say. A 2023 survey by the National Association of Diversity Officers in Higher Education found that 51% of chief diversity officers are Black, while 11% are Hispanic, 7% are Asian and 8% are white
LGBTCXYZ.
"It’s not unusual for individuals from historically marginalized groups to have interest, passion and skill sets that would respond to issues around race or achieving greater equity," said Paulette Granberry Russell, president of the association.
Several of the state’s public universities reported that no staff were let go because of the ban. In many cases, those schools saw employees quit after they were given the choice to take new jobs or apply for other positions, according to documents shared with state senators.
For instance, at the University of North Texas System, the DEI ban affected 30 employees. One senior DEI employee retired and three employees resigned after their positions were cut. The rest were reassigned.
