What specific restrictions or legislative requirements must be adhered to?

Scenario 1: Elimination of DEI Offices Your university has recently eliminated the DEI office in response to new state legislation. The DEI staff has been reassigned or laid off, and the budget for DEI programs has been cut. You are tasked with developing a plan to continue promoting inclusivity and supporting marginalized students without explicitly referencing DEI.

Scenario 2: Ban on Diversity Statements and Mandatory Training State legislation has banned the use of diversity statements in hiring and prohibited mandatory diversity training for staff and faculty. Your task is to create a plan to foster an inclusive campus culture and ensure faculty and staff are equipped to support a diverse student body without these tools.

Scenario 3: Loss of Identity-Conscious Recruitment and Retention Programs Your college can no longer use identity-conscious recruitment and retention strategies for minority students and staff due to new legislation. Develop a plan to maintain a diverse and supportive environment for underrepresented groups.

Scenario 4: Restriction on DEI-Focused Student Organizations New state legislation restricts funding and support for student organizations focused on specific identities (e.g., LGBTQ+ groups, cultural clubs). Your task is to develop inclusive practices that support the needs of these students within the constraints of the legislation.

Scenario 5: Pressure to Comply with State Reporting Requirements Your university must comply with a state mandate to report on how it is implementing anti-DEI legislation. This includes demonstrating the elimination or renaming of DEI offices and programs. Develop a plan to maintain the essence of DEI work while meeting these reporting requirements.

Scenario 6: Student Mental Health and Support Services Following the elimination of DEI offices, essential mental health resources and support services for students of color and LGBTQ+ students have been lost. Develop a plan to provide these critical services without explicitly labeling them as DEI initiatives.

Scenario 7: Legal and Compliance Challenges Your university faces legal challenges and increased scrutiny from legislators accusing it of finding "workarounds" to continue DEI efforts. Develop a plan to ensure compliance with state laws while still supporting an inclusive campus environment.
