What’s in it

This bill requires the state board of regents, by the semester beginning fall 2028, to conduct a review of all undergraduate general education requirements and core curricula at regents institutions. For the review, the board shall direct the institutions to review and identify any required courses or course requirements that include diversity, equity, inclusion, and critical race theory-related content. The board in its discretion shall direct an institution to eliminate such a course or course requirement. The bill requires the board to establish all policies required by the bill no later than December 31, 2026.
