The Battle over Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)

For the Love of Texas, A Unity Summit for Higher Education is a state summit initiated by Black Brown Dialogues on Policy to launch a campaign advocating for human and civil rights in higher education for all Texas colleges and universities. With implications for diversity, equity, and inclusion, academic freedom, free speech, and censorship, the summit focus is on equipping youth—as well as novices and community members—for civic engagement.
