HB4031 establishes state goal that percentage of diverse employees employed by Department of Education reflects percentage of diverse students in public schools.
The Oregon State Senate passed HB4031 on February 28, 2022 by a vote of 17 to 9. We have assigned pluses to the nays because taxpayer funds should not be used to feed into the woke culture. Taxpayers should expect the best and most qualified people to fill positions that they are funding, not to reach diversity goals.
