Following the Supreme Court decision banning colleges from considering race in admissions, new state laws are targeting DEI efforts.

The article from MinnPost discusses how colleges and universities are reevaluating or scaling back race-based programs and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives due to legal threats and challenges. Following a Supreme Court decision that struck down affirmative action in college admissions, institutions like the University of Wisconsin and the University of Missouri have either dismantled or significantly altered their DEI offices and programs. This shift is driven by concerns over potential lawsuits from conservative groups and legal organizations like the Equal Protection Project, which argue that such programs violate civil rights laws. The article highlights the broader implications of these changes, suggesting that the retreat from DEI efforts could impact campus culture, student support systems, and the overall diversity of student bodies. It also notes the fear among educators and administrators of facing legal repercussions, leading to a cautious approach in how diversity is addressed on campus.
