Trump officials went after dozens of colleges. Now they’re rewriting the rules for all of academia

The administration is going after many of the same targets it hammered with investigations — diversity, equity and inclusion policies, transgender athletes, antisemitism and a variety of practices perceived as anti-white discrimination.

Trump officials rewrite rules of academia after investigations

President Donald Trump's administration put dozens of college campuses under investigation last year and cut federal funding unless they came in line with his Republican agenda. Now federal officials are taking a wider approach. As new investigations have been dialed back, multiple agencies are rewriting federal rules governing all of higher education. The new tactic goes after many of the same targets, including diversity, equity and inclusion; transgender athletes; and antisemitism. New rules under consideration would require colleges to end DEI policies and ensure they have “intellectual diversity,” a veiled call for more conservative voices. Some people in higher education welcome the approach, saying it invites conversations that didn't happen during last year's investigations.

Pete Hegseth removes all women and some Black service members from navy promotion list | Pete Hegseth | The Guardian
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jun/03/pete-hegseth-navy-promotion-list

"Hegseth’s unusual intervention violated promotion rules designed to be merit-based and apolitical, the New York Times said on Tuesday, and extended the Trump administration’s push to eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in the military."

"“The Overseer Class”: Steven Thrasher on Black Cops, Pro-Palestine Protests, DEI & More

We speak with journalist, academic and author Steven Thrasher about his new book, The Overseer Class, in which he explores how members of historically marginalized groups rise to positions of power within institutions in lieu of structural change. He identifies Black police officers as a prominent example of this phenomenon. As public opinion in the United States has grown more critical of law enforcement, “Black cops are kind of rehabilitating police departments, as are women cops and LGBTQ cops,” Thrasher says. “Those are the people who I call overseers, the ones who rule between the ruling class and the working class.”"

From policial cartoonist Jesse Duquette:
"U.S. Politics"
They're giving salutes, bloody hangers, lighting crosses, and we're honoring norms.
