Republican lawmakers are backing dozens of bills targeting diversity efforts on campus and elsewhere
SUMMARY: Republicans in various state legislatures are introducing a series of bills aimed at defunding or prohibiting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives at public institutions, including universities and K-12 schools. Around 50 bills in 20 states propose restrictions or demand public disclosures of DEI programs. This follows efforts to target DEI the previous year, with the Supreme Court ruling on affirmative action influencing the current legal approach to diversity. While some Republicans seek to dismantle DEI claiming it promotes ideology, Democrats defend these initiatives as essential for diverse communities. Florida and Texas have already passed laws against DEI initiatives in higher education, inspiring similar moves in other states. The clampdown on DEI is linked to earlier campaigns against critical race theory, which republicans equate with DEI’s application in institutions.

SUMMARY: Ole Miss football overcame losing 18 starters to dominate Georgia State 63-7 in their 2025 opener. A pregame altercation occurred when Georgia State’s Tyler Scott snatched a chain from Ole Miss’s Da’Shawn Womack, leading to Scott’s suspension for the game. Womack chose not to press charges. Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin praised Womack’s performance, who tied for team-high solo tackles. Offensively, QB Austin Simmons threw for 341 yards and three touchdowns. The running game improved with Kewan Lacy rushing for 108 yards and three scores. Ole Miss rose to 20th in the AP Top 25 and will face Kentucky next.

SUMMARY: The Southeastern Conference named Ole Miss’s Zxavian Harris and Mississippi State’s Will Whitson co-Defensive Linemen of the Week after standout performances in Week 1. Harris tallied five tackles, one sack, and an interception in Ole Miss’s 63-7 win over Georgia State, disrupting the run game with his size and skill. Whitson, a transfer from Coastal Carolina, notched one sack, 2.5 tackles for loss—the best in the SEC that week—and five quarterback pressures in Mississippi State’s 34-17 victory over Southern Miss. Both players will return to the field Saturday as Ole Miss faces Kentucky and Mississippi State hosts Arizona State.

SUMMARY: Ole Miss, after losing 18 starters, dominated Georgia State 63-7 in week one under coach Lane Kiffin. Sophomore QB Austin Simmons debuted with 341 passing yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions but improved as the game progressed. Running back Kewan Lacy led with 108 yards and three touchdowns, highlighting Ole Miss’ improved running game. The defense, led by coordinator Pete Golding, stifled Georgia State’s offense, allowing just 260 total yards. Special teams’ Lucas Carneiro contributed two field goals. Coach Kiffin praised Lacy’s versatility but noted inconsistency in the offensive line. Ole Miss next faces Kentucky on September 6 in Lexington for revenge after last year’s home loss.
