(The Center Square) – As colleges and universities scale back diversity, equity and inclusion programs amid federal funding pressure from the Trump administration, supporters of the cuts argue DEI has negatively affected academics and higher education.
Approximately $3.7 billion in federal research funding has been targeted for cuts, disrupting hundreds of clinical trials and research partnerships across multiple institutions. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has proposed suspending 38 universities from federal research partnerships over their DEI hiring practices.
