How do the recent rollbacks of DEI initiatives connect to broader political trends and state-level actions?

The rollback of DEI initiatives in universities, driven by state-level orders and federal pressure, is creating a sense of isolation and undermining support systems for students of color. Specific programs like orientation events and scholarships are being eliminated, directly impacting students' sense of belonging and access to higher education. This is particularly concerning given the historical underrepresentation of minority students in higher education.
