Ending Costly and Divisive DEI Bureaucracies on Campus

2025 - North Carolina Senate

Conservatives Support

Description

This bill dismantles Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) offices and programs in North Carolina’s public higher education system, curbing mandatory ideological trainings and race-obsessed bureaucracies that waste taxpayer dollars and undermine merit. CPAC opposes DEI mandates, supports colorblind merit-based education, and strongly supported this bill. The Senate passed this bill on 2025-07-29 by a vote of 30-19. The House passed this bill on 2025-06-25 by a vote of 64-47. The Governor vetoed this bill.
