Braun Working to Eliminate Diversity Efforts Throughout Indiana Government
INDIANA, UNITED STATES, JUL 09 – Governor Braun's report details eliminating 70 DEI trainings, revising 200 policies, and opening 34 formerly DEI-conditioned grants to all Hoosiers to emphasize merit and innovation.
- On January 14, 2025, Indiana Governor Mike Braun issued an executive order to replace DEI initiatives across state government with merit, excellence, and innovation.
- This order was issued in response to the Supreme Court ruling in a major case involving Harvard College and required agencies to assess their DEI policies by July 1, 2025.
- Braun's report, released on July 16, 2025, detailed revising over 350 DEI initiatives, eliminating 70 DEI training sessions, and opening 34 formerly DEI-conditioned grants to all Hoosiers.
- Governor Braun announced that Indiana has moved away from what he describes as a divisive and politically motivated DEI framework, instead emphasizing principles of merit, excellence, and innovation to create fair opportunities for all residents to succeed through their own efforts.
- This shift implies a focus on merit-based values, but critics like Rep. Pryor said it risks erasing minority contributions and eliminating important health disparity positions.
