Ep. 344 Why DEI?: The Chilling Effect of SB17
Episode 44
Friday, 3 May, 2024
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs in Texas colleges came under fire in the last legislative session. The passage of SB17 has been controversial with many students and faculty over the elimination of these programs. This week we are joined by Dr. Karma Chávez, the Bobby and Sherri Patton Professor of Mexican American and Latina/o Studies and Chair of Mexican American and Latina/o Studies at the University of Texas at Austin. Dr. Chávez will talk to us about what is driving this movement, why it matters and how you can help.
