Governor Jeff Landry has asked the Office for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Education to expand its current investigation into diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices. The request seeks to include every public higher education institution in Louisiana to ensure statewide compliance with federal law.
“Let me be clear: Louisiana is done with woke DEI policies. Discrimination against ANY student will not be tolerated,” said Governor Landry. “This issue began under the previous administration, and we are fixing it. That is why, I’ve formally requested that the investigation be expanded to EVERY public higher education institution in Louisiana. If there are violations of federal law anywhere in our system, we want them corrected.”
Landry’s administration has focused on policy initiatives aimed at economic growth and public safety across Louisiana (official website). His government has also advanced education reforms that have led to improved student testing scores throughout the state (official website). Additionally, his leadership has been credited with securing over $50 billion in investments through tax cuts and other economic policies (official website).
Governor Landry serves as part of Louisiana’s state government structure (official website), with operations affecting regions from New Orleans to Baton Rouge (official website).
