And, we know it’s not about money because of other ideas GOP lawmakers have floated this year. They considered bills to outlaw tenure, collect information on the political affiliations of university instructors and staff and tried to ban curriculum using the New York Times’ 1619 Project, which puts slavery and racial discrimination at the center of the nation’s story. Those bills, thankfully, failed to advance. But the message was clear. Lawmakers are still considering a bill that would ban “divisive concepts,” such as institutional racism and white privilege, from being part of campus diversity training, mimicking a Trump administration edict.
