Trump-Backed Louisiana Candidate Reveals Plan to Root Out DEI Policies from Universities

Rep. Julia Letlow, a Trump-endorsed Senate candidate in Louisiana, is facing scrutiny over her stance on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies after unearthed videos reveal she championed DEI in university hiring processes during her time at Millikin University and Louisiana Tech University. The videos show Letlow advocating for the use of DEI initiatives in hiring decisions. Letlow's views on the matter have sparked controversy among some Republicans, who have expressed concern that her support for DEI policies may be seen as inconsistent with her campaign promises. Letlow has vowed to ensure DEI policies are 'rooted out' of schools if elected to the Senate.
