U. Wisconsin system spent tens of millions of dollars on 1,200+ DEI activities: audit

The University of Wisconsin system spent tens of millions of dollars on over 1,200 “diversity, equity, and inclusion” activities in recent years, a new legislative audit revealed.

Medical advocacy group Do No Harm and a Wisconsin state representative told The College Fix this ideology is diminishing the value of education and wasting taxpayer money.

Meanwhile, Do No Harm Senior Fellow Tabia Lee told The Fix via email DEI is “watering down the knowledge, skills, and abilities of students across disciplines on college campuses.”

“It is unfortunate that content knowledge is being replaced with ideological knowledge that requires students to demonstrate an allegiance to discrimination, division, and unproven sociological constructs,” she said.

Lee encouraged Wisconsin residents who are concerned about their taxpayer dollars funding DEI initiatives to contact their legislators and demand that public universities return to “educating instead of indoctrinating.”
