Virginia joins request to American Bar Association to drop its DEI standards
Virginia joins request to American Bar Association to drop its DEI standards
Virginia AG Jason Miyares signs letter with 20 Republican peers asking ABA to drop diversity and inclusion standards for law schools.

Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares signed a letter with 20 of his Republican counterparts asking the American Bar Association to drop its diversity and inclusion standards for law schools.
DEI efforts implemented in the schools directs their administrators to violate both the Constitution and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, which “prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex and national origin,” the states argued.
The letter comes a year after the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in a lawsuit against Harvard College that dictated students must be considered based on their experiences as an individual and not on their race. The decision led higher institutions to stop affirmative action policies, and many states since then have passed laws restricting DEI programs.
