  • Local higher education officials say they are monitoring the situation, and they remain hopeful that funding for diversity initiatives will not be cut.

The article from Newsday discusses the impact of former President Donald Trump's executive order on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs at Long Island colleges and universities. The order, which bans certain types of diversity training that Trump deemed "divisive," has led to a reevaluation of DEI initiatives.

Faculty and students express concerns over potential setbacks in fostering an inclusive environment, with some fearing that the order could chill open discussions about race, gender, and other identity issues. Administrators are cautiously adjusting their approaches, ensuring that DEI efforts continue under the new guidelines, focusing on creating a welcoming environment without crossing into what could be interpreted as divisive content.
