What happens to DEI and the observance of damage to Scottsdale? What do I know – the Arizona Republic

Councilor Adam Kwasman said he wants, for example, wants the Scotsdale program for the whole time. He told the Arizona Republic that the ordinance would terminate it. But the head of Scotdale’s libraries, Mike Beck, as if it was supposed that he may not fall under the competence of the ordinance.

“While the program description includes DEI, the history time format is aimed at special populations,” he writes. The monthly topics included the Braille Story Time, a month of black history and a session aimed at “Sensor/Autism -based audience”. The program does not receive direct funding from the diversity service, he said.

Scotsdale employees can handle the new regulation by preserving or reducing the program. On the one hand, this can be considered a violation because it explicitly says that it encourages DEI. On the other hand, council members, including Kwasman, said they were not trying to target the disabled community. They could choose to keep the program if they look at it as more accessible, which Deputy Mayor Jan Dubauskas said she regarded as separate from DEI.
