Almost across the board, university leaders are remaining quiet on what changes they may implement to adhere to the Trump administration's "Dear Colleague" letter.

A federal directive is coming after inclusive campus policies. Will North Carolina university leaders fight back?
The Trump administration's "Dear Colleague" letter comes at a time when N.C. universities are already paring back their diversity efforts.

Of course it is not the most elite institutions with the most resources fighting back. It is those with the fewest resources who serve the most marginalized populations. For these institutions DEI is not an optional add-on but their entire mission.

That was when they suspended the Constitution. They said it would be temporary. There wasn't even any rioting in the streets. People stayed home at night, watching television, looking for some direction. There wasn't even an enemy you could put your finger on.

A Poem on Hope by Wendell Berry
It is hard to have hope. It is harder as you grow old,. . .and hope is harder when it cannot come by prediction
any more than by wishing. But stop dithering.
The young ask the old to hope. What will you tell them?
Tell them at least what you say to yourself.

“Poetry is a life-cherishing force … For poems are not words after all, but fires for the cold, ropes let down for the lost, something as necessary as bread in the pockets of the hungry.” -Mary Oliver

Nikki Giovanni: Why We Need Poetry
