The head of the agency that oversees Kentucky's public colleges and universities worries that a bill restricting diversity, equity and inclusion or d-ii efforts will reverse gains Kentucky is making in higher education.

Aaron Thompson is president of the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education.

In an interview that will air Sunday morning right here on Getty, Thompson expresses some concerns about a Senate bill prohibiting state colleges from implementing D-ii statements and trainings that the bill defines as, quote, divisive.

He hopes the bill's sponsor, Bowling Green State Republican Senate Republican Mike Wilson, will also revisit the bill's right to legal action provision.

Thompson poses a raft of questions he hopes lawmakers will consider.

Does it slow down the progress Kentucky is making toward educating all of our citizens?

The last thing we need to do is actually get to the point where anything goes to reverse the progress that we're making academically.

And that's not anything that I hope that our legislature or anybody else would bring to the table.

$1,000, but no more than $100,000 cumulatively per action is what universities are subject to for noncompliance.

If this bill were to become law.

Yet any further thing to say about that?

Dr. Van, I would like for you to take that out to the public level you can think about or what could happen.

Who's going to investigate all this?

Who's got a substantial period?

What kind of legal fees is going to be incurred way beyond just that?

I mean, and how often could something like that happen?

Just on a perception whether or not it's true, just the amount of time it would take to really get there.

I would hope he would take a closer look at that piece, no doubt.
