Trump 47: DEI

Now, school districts with programs aimed at lifting up Black students, and others, are finding themselves legally vulnerable. The White House is pursuing a reversal of the federal government’s traditional role on race and schools, going after what it calls “illegal DEI,” or diversity, equity and inclusion.

After a federal judge in Washington blocked the Trump administration from freezing federal grants and loans potentially totaling trillions of dollars last week, many disability rights organizations wonder what's next.

All twelve of Florida’s public universities will be subject to an independent review and audit under the task force.

The University of Miami, one of the largest private universities in the state still maintaining diversity, equity and inclusion programs, removed DEI websites in response to an executive order passed by the Trump administration. Although it targets federally-funded institutions, the order also threatens some corporations, foundations and private educational institutions with compliance investigations.
