The law, signed by Governor Spencer Cox on Jan. 30, eliminates all central offices of higher education, public education systems, and governmental employers dedicated to equity, diversity, and inclusion. It also prohibits policies, procedures, practices, programs, or initiatives that are referred to as diversity, equity, and inclusion and requires that dedicated resource centers serve all students.

The law also prohibits the use of diversity statements or commitments in hiring and admission processes.
