The University of Texas (UT) at Austin spends more than $13 million on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) salaries for close to 200 jobs, according to documents obtained by The Epoch Times.

That’s enough money to fund 342 in-state students to attend one of Texas’ top publicly funded universities for a year, based on an annual tuition of $35,000.
