Mississippi’s public colleges and universities have until Thursday to send an accounting of their spending on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) to the state.

The request comes from an Apr. 6 email sent by the Office of the State Auditor to the eight schools in the Institutions of Higher Learning (IHE). In her email, Laura Gray of the office’s Government Accountability Division calls the probe “a performance review” of DEI programs.

The Sun Herald recently shared a copy of the email sent to Delta State University in Cleveland and writes that the office made its request based on a similar audit by Fla. Gov. Ron DeSantis.

More states need to follow this example. If the tax-payers are funding universities, then those institutions need to be audited to determine how much money they are spending on D.I.E. departments.

why should tax payer money be spent to brain wash our children, our nations future int being good little Communists?

Check out JT Thomas at Ole Miss. He’s a sociology prof & an execrable human. He & shad white & the communications director for the governor have been going at it on Twitter. He allows no comments because he knows he would be annihilated.

Good! This DEI stuff is insane..but it appears on every email I receive from educational institutions, historical organizations, you name it. And it’s total insanity, probably most of them hate it, but they’re trapped unless somebody (their state, in this case) steps in.

I think the states will save the USA from wokeness. Good going, Founding Fathers!
