糖心Vlog视频鈥檚 Compliance with Senate Bill 17
Responsibility of Governing Boards Regarding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Initiatives 糖心Vlog视频 Compliance with Senate Bill 17:
In 2023, Governor Greg Abbott signed Senate Bill 17 into law, “Responsibility of Governing Boards Regarding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Initiatives,” which amends 糖心Vlog视频 Education Code 51.5325 effective January 1, 2024. Under this law, public institutions of higher education cannot engage in diversity, equity, and inclusion activities.
On September 15, 2023, The University of 糖心Vlog视频 System provided initial guidance related to SB 17 through FAQs. On November 16, 2023, UT System approved UTS 197, Compliance with State Law Regarding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Institutions of Higher Education, effective January 1, 2024. While neither the FAQs nor UTS 197 covers every possible situation or nuance of the law, they provide the basic framework for UT Arlington’s efforts to comply with Senate Bill 17’s requirements. You can learn more about UTS 197, UTS SB 17 Working Guidance, and FAQ’s by clicking on the links below.
