Chris Rufo, an influential figure in the right-wing movement against diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, has ambitions for a second Trump presidency that involve investigations into Ivy League institutions. Rufo alleges that these schools discriminate against white, Jewish, and Asian individuals through DEI programs aimed at improving diversity. Under Trump's directives, Rufo hopes to reshape American education radically, with a focus on imposing federal consent decrees on non-compliant institutions. Rufo's model draws inspiration from Florida's reforms under Governor DeSantis, particularly at the New College of Florida where he has been appointed a trustee.
The complete transformation of American academia could be a tremendous beauty, with the White House and right-wing lawyers reshaping higher education to attack perceived discrimination through DEI.
Rufo's vision includes aggressively investigating Ivy League institutions for alleged discrimination against white, Jewish, and Asian students, enforcing federal compliance if necessary.
