US EditionBraun Working to Eliminate Diversity Efforts Throughout Indiana Government
INDIANA, JUL 9 – The Braun Administration ended 70 DEI trainings and revised 200 policies to prioritize merit, excellence, and innovation in Indiana state agencies, officials said.
- On July 9, 2025, a report was published outlining the state's efforts to replace diversity, equity, and inclusion programs with a focus on merit, excellence, and innovation within Indiana's government.
- This shift follows Braun's January 14 executive order that directed agencies to review and revise over 350 DEI initiatives for compliance with a Supreme Court ruling on race-based admissions.
- The report highlights elimination of 70 DEI training sessions, opening 34 previously DEI-conditioned grants to all residents, and adjusting 200 policies to emphasize merit-based values.
- Governor Braun said the reform promotes merit, excellence, and innovation, offering equal opportunities for all Hoosiers to succeed through dedication, while critics such as Rep. Pryor contend the changes undermine efforts to address minority health disparities and disregard the needs of those communities.
- This initiative implies a significant policy realignment aimed at reducing politically charged DEI efforts, but concerns remain about impacts on equity and access for historically marginalized groups in Indiana.
