On February 14, the US Department of Education decreed that race-based scholarships and DEI programs violate civil rights law, threatening universities with federal funding loss unless these programs are dismantled. This decision signifies an alarming rollback of crucial support systems for under-represented students. The implications stretch beyond the US, as similar actions unfold in Europe. To counteract this, universities must staunchly reject the ruling, boldly affirm their commitment to diversity, and prevent the erosion of their values in the pursuit of funding.
The US Department of Education's ruling against race-based scholarships and DEI programs threatens decades of progress for under-represented students and risks significant consequences.
Silence is complicity. The administration is betting on universities valuing federal funding over their commitment to equity, risking abandonment of their core values.
