Part 3/8:
Universities that fail to comply with this ruling within a 14-day timeframe risk losing all federal funding, a threat that undoubtedly demands immediate attention from institutions reliant on government financing. This initiative marks an unprecedented use of federal power to influence higher education, aiming to dismantle decades of DEI policies and programs.
Arguments For and Against
Supporters of the ruling argue that DEI programs have become discriminatory themselves, targeting white and Asian students for exclusion. Many conservative voices deem this intervention a necessary correction to what they perceive as the overreach of DEI practices that prioritize race over merit or qualifications.
