This bill aims to regulate the operations of public postsecondary educational institutions in Nebraska by prohibiting the establishment of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) offices and related programs. It defines key terms such as "diversity, equity, and inclusion office," "diversity, equity, and inclusion program," and outlines specific actions that these institutions are barred from taking, including hiring for DEI roles, compelling statements related to DEI, and providing preferential treatment based on race, gender, or sexual orientation. The bill also specifies that public funds cannot be used for DEI offices or programs, except as required by federal law.

However, the bill does allow for certain exceptions, such as offering training on sexual harassment, ensuring compliance with state or federal laws, and collecting demographic data. It also permits institutions to engage in scholarly research related to DEI and to support student organizations or guest speakers. Additionally, employees required to participate in DEI programs can take legal action against their institutions if they believe the provisions of this bill have been violated, potentially leading to injunctive relief.
