Despite Texas having the highest population of African Americans in the country at 13.2%, we only make up 4.5% of the full-time faculty at UT Austin. For Texas A&M it’s even less at 3.6%. These stats reflect decades of discriminatory practices. We need DEI. #txlege #TxforDEI
This is horrible for higher education in Texas: "With an 83-60 vote, the Texas House gives its initial approval to #SB17, banning DEI offices at Texas public colleges and universities." This thread highlights those representations who spoke out against it. #txledge #TxforDEI
Thank you, @SherylCole1. #txlege #TxforDEI

Good afternoon everyone! Today, #SB17 is being heard on the house floor. This bill would require universities to close their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) offices. Follow this thread as we follow the events of the day. #txlege #TxforDEI
Tomorrow, #SB18, which plans to do away with tenure as we know it, will be heard on the House floor. Fact: Only 4% of tenured faculty in the entire state of Texas are Black. SB 18 would impact this group and reduce our diversity. Texas needs protected tenure. #txlege #TxforDEI
We made it y’all! Thanks to each and every single one of y’all for braving it out into the wee hours of the morning in defense of DEI! You made it clear to the higher education committee that Texas is better with DEI! #txlege #TxforDEI
After going through all the remaining testimony, ultimately SB 17 is left pending. The chair has motioned for the committee to adjourn. #txlege #TxforDEI
.@itsamandarg: "By voting this bill out of committee, you are depriving institutions of millions of dollars that they need to support students like myself." #txlege #TxforDEI
.@sameeha_rizvi: "Let me make one thing clear: DEI is not a threat to our democracy but it is the heart of our democracy." #txlege #TxforDEI
.@BucyForTexas: "As a civil rights attorney, are you aware of any cases where a court has found DEI programs to be discriminatory or unconstitutional?" - Antonio Ingram: "Zero." #txlege #TxforDEI
Antonio Ingram, @NAACP_LDF Assistant Counsel: "[And so] we have to look at DEI as a continuation of efforts to create belonging and not as an undue preferential treatment for certain populations." #txlege #TxforDEI
Samuel Jefferson: "I do not mean to be condescending, patronizing, or rude, but I do not believe that this legislature has put in the work to understand what DEI is or the role of DEI offices and programs." #txlege #TxforDEI
Ann Louis, UT Austin and @CWA6186, breaks down how DEI has affected UT Austin and notes that "we have a very long way to go." #txlege #TxforDEI
The Committee Chair just mentioned that there are 141 people scheduled to testify on SB 17. We’re going to be here for the long-haul as the people of Texas defend DEI late into the night and into the early morning. #txlege #TxforDEI
Public testimony on SB 17 is now beginning. As always, we’ll give you the highlights of the members of the public testifying. #txlege #TxforDEI
Rep. @SherylCole1 presses the chair about how SB 17 will reconcile with the state budget clause that states that state money cannot be spent on unconstitutional DEI initiatives. #txlege #TxforDEI
