Owen Anderson argued the diversity training violates state law, which prohibits employees from placing 'blame or judgment on the basis of race, ethnicity or sex'

A longtime professor at Arizona State University sued the university on Tuesday over a mandatory diversity, equity and inclusion course for faculty, arguing it violates state law.

In August, the Arizona university system, which includes ASU, announced it would no longer require diversity, equity and inclusion statements in its hiring practices. Fox News Digital previously reported that up to 80% of faculty job postings at Arizona State University, the University of Arizona and Northern Arizona University required applicants to pledge support to equity and inclusion efforts through 'diversity statements,' according to a Goldwater Institute report.
