Undercover videos catch Kansas university employees saying DEI still used despite law– www.thecollegefix.com

Diversity, equity and inclusion efforts are still underway at Washburn University in Kansas despite a state law banning the ideology, according to two recently published undercover videos.

Both edited videos were released this month by Accuracy in Academia, a conservative watchdog group that has over the last year targeted numerous universities across Republican-controlled states with the same sting: catching employees admitting to undercover investigators that they are flouting anti-DEI laws.

At Washburn, located in Topeka, a video published March 18 centers on lecturer Craig Carter with the School of Applied Studies, who told an AIM investigator that employees were told to discontinue DEI but “to my knowledge, we didn’t do any of that here.”

“A lot of times we use other words for diversity,” he was recorded saying on AIM’s hidden camera, according to the group.

“We talk about inclusion, you know, and stuff like that. For the most part, we haven’t been… I mean, I haven’t changed anything that I say or do in the classroom,” Carter said.
