College DEI rollbacks hit students' scholarships, campus mentors
As U.S. colleges are pulling back on diversity, equity and inclusion practices, students of color say they are starting to lose campus mentors, move-in events, scholarships and diversity offices where they always have felt welcome on predominately white campuses. The full scope of campus DEI rollbacks is still emerging as colleges respond to the Trump administration’s orders against diversity practices. But students at some schools say early cuts are chipping away at the sense of community that has helped open the door to higher education. The retreat from DEI has accelerated under President Donald Trump and his threats to cut federal funding.
