DEI

Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont (D) and state Education Commissioner Charlene Russell-Tucker have notified the Trump administration that they will not end diversity, equity, and inclusion practices in their schools. In doing so, they risk losing hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding.

Gov. Ned Lamont has appointed Mariana Monteiro, a former executive director of global diversity at Lockheed Martin, to head Connecticut’s newly created Office of Equity and Opportunity.
