"Utah Joins States in Banning DEI Efforts on Campus and in Government"

Utah Governor Spencer Cox signed a law that restricts diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in the state's educational institutions and government offices, joining a national trend of backlash against such efforts. The law prohibits programs with "diversity, equity, and inclusion" in their name and requires student support services to be open to all students, outlawing efforts that focus on specific races or genders. This move reflects a political shift in Utah, as Governor Cox, known for his moderate stance, embraces the controversial bill.
