Conservative detractors of the law complained that it was watered down and contained no real enforcement mechanism (and I believed them, and agreed; ref https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2023/05/whats-the-matter-with-texas.php).
It’s interesting to me that UT, undoubtedly knowing the law was deficient in enforcement mechanisms, canned DEI staff anyway.
That suggests (to me, anyway) that the DEI function is in reality a thorn in the administration’s side and however “woke” these administrators are, they’re A-OK with blaming the law but using it to clean out this dysfunctional DEI nonsense anyway.
I’ll take it!! :-)
Or it means they can easily disguise their DEI intentions within the greater bureaucracy.
