A protest in partnership with other public universities across the State of Alabama in unified opposition to AL Senate Bill 129; a bill that would "prohibit certain public entities, including state agencies, local boards of education, and public institutions of higher education, from maintaining a diversity, equity, and inclusion office or department or sponsoring any diversity, equity, and inclusion program or program that advocates for a divisive concept." Not only does this bill aim to gut DEI administrative funding, but it also seeks to prohibit public university officials from sponsoring or advocating for they deem to be "divisive concepts." This bill harms the safe spaces and the many student organizations that call UAB home. 

As a public institution of higher education, UAB adheres to principles of Free Speech, Civil Discourse and Institutional Neutrality. Freedom of Expression and Use of UAB Facilities Policy allows members of the UAB community to hold events on campus; views expressed do not represent the university, which adheres to institutional neutrality. Events held at UAB are required to comply with all applicable state and federal laws, and participation is not limited based on impermissible criteria (e.g., age, gender, race, national origin, sexual orientation).
