Auburn University Faculty Review Courses to Comply with Anti-DEI Law
In October, Auburn University's provost office launched a website outlining steps to comply with state and federal mandates related to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). Faculty members are required to review their courses to ensure they do not breach Alabama’s anti-DEI law.
This initiative followed attention from a conservative blog that highlighted classes potentially in conflict with the law. Shortly after sending out compliance forms, the provost’s office also opened registration for faculty meetings to address questions regarding these mandates.
A letter obtained by AL.com, sent to college deans from Vini Nathan, Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs, outlines this process.
Key Actions for Faculty
- Assess course content for compliance with Alabama’s anti-DEI regulations.
- Use resources provided on the new compliance website.
- Attend faculty meetings organized by the provost’s office for clarifications.
Summary
Auburn University is actively guiding its faculty to align course content with legal requirements against DEI material, ensuring adherence through review and support tools.
Author's Conclusion
The university's proactive approach reflects the growing influence of state laws on academic content and faculty responsibilities.
