‘Race,’ ‘equity’ removed from UNT course titles to comply with Texas DEI
ban, faculty say

At least 78 changes were made to UNT [University of North Texas] courses in
attempts to comply with the state’s DEI ban, according to internal
communications reviewed by The Dallas Morning News.

Faculty members fear the law — which bans diversity, equity and inclusion
offices and programs from public colleges and universities — is leading to
censorship of classes despite the exemptions for course instruction and
research...Faculty were told to make sure their syllabi complied with the
new law, which left some confused because the law doesn’t apply to course
instruction, Cumings Mansfield said.
