| Texas Gov. Greg Abbott calls diversity efforts ‘illegal,’ tells state agencies to stop ABC News: Sharona Hoffman, the Edgar A. Hahn Professor of Law and co-director of the Law-Medicine Center, discussed the “inaccurate” characterization of a Texas state memo declaring diversity, equity and inclusion policies as illegal. “It’s incorrect to say that any kind of diversity, equity and inclusion activity is unlawful,” she said, noting for instance that employers can freely recruit workers at places that might attract minority candidates, such as historically Black colleges and universities. |
