Just for clarification.*** HB 2248 has not passed into law yet!, we do have one more vote on the House Floor. The Bill passed Unanimously out of the Committee of Defense & Veterans Affairs.
The next step is Local & Consent Calendars. Fingers crossed.

Oh, and I haven't told you the numbers yet for Black faculty. Brace yourself. This is SUPER low.
The US Census shows 13% of Texas population is Black.
At UT, just 5% of the faculty is Black and just 3.4% of the faculty at A&M are Black.

State had some interesting comments too about how diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) was adopted to fix these numbers and now Texas Republicans are risking watching those diversity numbers get more out-of-line with what this state looks like.

More than 40% of our population in Texas is Hispanic. Want to take a guess at what percentage of professors at UT and A&M are Hispanic?
10% at UT
5% at A&M
At the risk of connecting really obvious dots, want to guess why colleges have tried to use DEI to find more diversity?
