According to a recent report at Campus Reform, “Wisconsin’s public universities could face changes to their admissions, hiring and scholarship policies after voters approved a constitutional amendment restricting preferential treatment in government institutions.”
Whether or not this holds remains to be seen, as every time DEI seems to be on the way out, it seems to make its way back.
“The Republican-backed measure passed Nov. 3 with approximately 56.4 percent of the vote, CBS News reported.”
As we have reported, this was one of the few victories for common sense conservatives on election night.
“The amendment prohibits government entities from discriminating against or providing preferential treatment based on race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin.”
This amendment seems like basic common sense, yet sadly such thinking has become controversial in Woke parts of the country.
“Its provisions apply to public education, employment and contracting, including the Universities of Wisconsin and the state’s technical college system.”
Voters continue to reject Wokeness at the ballot, yet political figures on the left and University professors continue to deliver DEI nonetheless.
“State Rep. Dave Murphy, who sponsored the proposal, argued that it would strengthen merit-based hiring and equal treatment. ”
The amendment, however, does not spell out DEI directly but alludes to it by opposing racial- or ethnic based hiiring.
“The measure follows a similar constitutional amendment approved by Michigan voters in 2006 and later upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court.”
The University has yet to comment or detail what, if any, changes will take place following this amendment being voted in.
“Wisconsin Republicans advanced the proposal through the constitutional amendment process, which does not require the governor’s signature.”
DEI is unpopular, yet despite opposition, schools and Democrat officials continue to impose it on the American public.
It remains to be seen if this amendment will lead to the end of woke, at least in Wisconsin, but judging by previous efforts, it is highly unlikely.
