In response to federal efforts to diminish diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey and Attorney General Andrea Campbell have issued guidance reaffirming the importance of DEI in education. They assert that longstanding legal precedents support these initiatives, which aim to create inclusive environments for students of all backgrounds. Healey emphasized that diversity is a critical strength in education and vowed to collaborate closely with educational institutions to ensure they continue fostering inclusive practices, even as the Trump administration attempts to roll them back.
"Massachusetts is going to stay true to who we are."
"We believe that bringing people of different backgrounds and perspectives to the table is a strength, especially in education."
