This public memo outlines why common DEI initiatives *remain lawful* under federal law and Supreme Court precedent, written by law professors from several universities. Please circulate broadly to discourage organizations from obeying in advance. Contact me for a pdf copy.
Page 1: We are law professors who study and teach anti discrimination law, education law, constitutional law, and civil rights. DEI is common shorthand for a varied set of initiatives broadly designed to counter pervasive biases and stereotypes and to cultivate more diverse, equitable, and inclusive institutions. We are concerned that federally funded institutions will eliminate or already have eliminated important DEI initiatives that remain legally defensible and often further institutions legal obligations under those very laws. This memo explains why common DEI initiatives remain legally defensible not withstanding president Trump‘s January 21, 2025 executive order titled “Ending illegal discrimination and restoring merit based opportunity” (the “J21 EO”) and related agency communications like the department of education’s February 14 Dear Colleague Letter (the “DCL”).
