DEI in public schools

This bill gets rid of some requirements around diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs at public colleges and universities.

• DEI Programs: Programs that help make schools, jobs, and communities fair for everyone by including people of different backgrounds, treating everyone fairly, and giving support to those who need it.

• If this bill is passed, it gets rid of part of the Education Code.

  • Education Code: A set of laws that have rules about education in Texas.

• The changes in this bill start right away if two-thirds of all members in the House of Representatives and the Senate vote “yes” for it.

• If that two-thirds vote doesn’t happen, the changes start on September 1, 2025.
