Group commits to DEI legal challenges, says DEI policies account for $124B

The Wisconsin Institute of Law and Liberty is vowing to take on diversity, equity and inclusion practices in government with a series of lawsuits and legal actions, including a federal complaint against the University of Wisconsin-Madison for awarding and promoting at least 60 race-based scholarships.

WILL also filed a federal complaint with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on behalf of Do No Harm against Johns Hopkins claiming the medical school impose used race- and sex-based eligibility criteria for clinical clerkships and scholarship programs.
