There’s now a hotline for reporting alleged violations of Utah’s anti-DEI law happening in government offices — including when a department name includes the now-banned words “diversity, equity and inclusion.”
The hotline is part of the state’s anti-diversity measure signed into law earlier this year. It will be overseen by Utah State Auditor John Dougall, whose previous efforts to launch a hotline for transgender bathroom complaints drew thousands of hoax submissions.
The law applies to state government agencies, as well as all public higher education and K-12 schools. But the new hotline is only for violations within the government. The lengthy form then asks five questions about the details of the allegation, prompting the complainant to note where it occurred and who was involved. It also asks for them to provide any relevant evidence.
Dougall is required to set up the hotline under the new law, which charges him with investigating alleged DEI violations. He said he released the form early to welcome feedback, which can be submitted via email to
