HB 3283 amends the governance policies of public institutions of higher education by emphasizing that governing boards must ensure all students have an equal opportunity for academic and professional success. The bill also restricts diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies at public colleges and universities. It prohibits institutions from maintaining DEI offices, requiring DEI statements, or giving preferential treatment based on race, sex, or ethnicity. The bill also mandates disciplinary actions, including termination, for employees who violate these provisions​.
