Proud to share this important piece at a time when identity centers are being defunded and dismantled—largely based on mischaracterizations unsupported by research. Huge thanks to the JDHE reviewers, @tichavakunda.bsky.social, and @garceslm.bsky.social whose feedback made this piece even stronger.

As colleges halt affinity graduations, students of color plan their own cultural celebrations
Affinity graduations recognize the range “of challenges and obstacles" that students from minority backgrounds face as they work towards their degrees, said one professor.

See what research at Tennessee universities was defunded in Trump’s federal grant cuts • Tennessee Lookout
Among the federally funded grants at Tennessee universities terminated by the Trump administration is one for rural mental health programs.
