(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) Marilee Coles-Ritchie, Michelle Thorley, and Deann Coles, from left, join a silent rally at the Utah Capitol before the Senate Education Committee hears HB261, the anti-DEI bill that aims to dismantle diversity offices in Utah public education and government, on Monday, Jan. 22, 2024. Utah's public colleges and universities say their numbers support diversity efforts and prove they work. Utah Gov. Spencer Cox, though, is soon expected to sign the bill into law.
