"Republican Committee Reviews Diversity Positions and Approves Pay Raises for UW System Employees in Wisconsin"

Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, who previously forced the Universities of Wisconsin to reduce diversity positions, has called for a comprehensive review of diversity initiatives across state government, stating that he has only just begun to dismantle equity and inclusion efforts. Vos reached an agreement with the Universities of Wisconsin earlier this month, freezing diversity hires, re-labeling positions, and dropping an affirmative action faculty hiring program. Despite criticism, Vos intends to continue his efforts to remove what he calls "cancerous DEI practices" and create a colorblind society. Democratic Governor Tony Evers' administration plans to continue diversity efforts despite objections from legislative Republicans.
