Summary
Kansas universities face new rules after the Board of Regents approved a policy defining DEI and CRT content—aimed at preventing mandatory courses from promoting preferential treatment based on race or gender. While critics argue the word “promotes” is too vague, the Regents stood firm, allowing DEI classes but barring them from required graduation courses unless waived. The policy, set to take effect before the 2026-27 school year, reflects a growing legislative push to balance academic freedom with state funding, sparking debate over how race, history, and civil rights will be taught in classrooms.
