Faculty hiring must also be based on DEI principles. At UT\u2019s Cockrell School of Engineering, for example, tenure and promotion decisions must &#8220;explicitly consider efforts related to DEI.&#8221;\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>These measures are summarized on a Jan. 20 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nas.org\/reports\/comprehensive-restructuring\/full-report\">Report<\/a> John Sailer, conservative education non-profit, of the National Association of Scholars.
