Senate Bill 125 is the controversial 2025 Kansas budget law that mandates the dismantling of DEI programming across all state universities and requires the removal of gender-identifying pronouns and any reference to “gender ideology” from official employee email signatures and communications by July 31, 2025. The Kansas Board of Regents issued compliance guidelines in mid‑June, directing institutions to eliminate DEI-related positions, programs, and training, while universities like KU, K‑State, and Wichita State enforced the changes with faculty-wide directives. Critics—including FIRE—argue SB 125 is worded so vaguely it likely violates First Amendment protections and has already precipitated the closure of the Spectrum Center at K‑State, among other campus shifts.
