A little over a year after Donald Trump took office for the second time and began going after what he described as "discriminatory" Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) practices, including gender extremism and racial preferences in education, his administration is touting several "wins" it says are shifting the culture war on college campuses and beyond.
Over 300 colleges and universities have rooted out DEI, according to numbers in a Department of Education press release laying out various "wins" against DEI during President Trump's second term. Other numbers the administration shared showed 45 colleges and universities have also removed DEI statements and messaging from university programs or websites, at least 15 have eliminated the use of diversity statements in hiring faculty or staff, at least 95 have either eliminated, renamed or shifted staff or faculty positions related to DEI, at least 175 have removed or restructured their current DEI offices, and over a half-dozen recently abandoned racially segregated graduation ceremonies.
Furthermore, College Board, best known for administering standardized tests like the SAT, revised criteria for their National Recognition Program, which the Department of Education says favored racial groups and awarded scholarships disproportionately to students from underrepresented ethnic groups.
