Summary
The Trump administration is highlighting several “wins” in its efforts to shift the culture war on college campuses and beyond. Over 300 colleges and universities have removed Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) practices, and 45 have removed DEI statements and messaging from university programs or websites. The administration also points to changes in college admissions and athletic policies, including the NCAA’s revised transgender participation rules. Additionally, the Department of Education has entered into resolution agreements with several universities and colleges to address issues related to DEI and Title IX compliance.
Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
The Trump administration is touting its “wins” in the culture war on college campuses. Colleges and universities are revising their DEI practices, and some are removing DEI statements and messaging. The NCAA has revised its transgender participation rules. The Department of Education is entering into resolution agreements with universities and colleges to address issues related to DEI and Title IX compliance. The administration is framing these changes as a restoration of “America’s Golden Age” and a shift towards greatness. The use of language like “wins” and “restoring our nation’s institutions to greatness” suggests a performance of victory, rather than a nuanced assessment of the impact of these changes.
