Monopoly Tycoons in a Game of Jenga: The Censorship of Bodies, Protest, and Speech at UT-Austin Faculty and students are experiencing profound disruption and distress, which starkly contrasts with the arrogant posture and detached demeanor of those perpetrating this harm.

UT students and faculty overwhelmingly expressed concerns over the violence against peaceful pro-Palestinian protestors, the climate of fear on campus with the takedown of DEI centers and offices, SB 17 over-compliance, and violations of students’ First Amendment right to free speech.

UT Austin flagging DEI-related words in ‘routine scans’ of its website Routine audits of the University of Texas at Austin’s website are flagging words related to diversity, equity and inclusion, also known as DEI.

@UTAustin has been flagging these terms for a year, but it’s the first time we’ve seen the list. UT says it’s respecting carve-outs in SB17 for teaching and research. We must stay vigilant to ensure this is the case. Do not self-censor based on this list!
