Higher education needs to reform itself. It also needs to defend itself.
The higher education sector must meet this coordinated attack with a coordinated response.

Don't let the means distract us from what the ends are. Rufo states exactly what the goal is, long-term: “Today, we celebrate victory. Tomorrow, we get back to the fight. We must not stop until we have abolished DEI ideology from every institution in America.” As usual, Emma Pettit does a great job.

After Months of Political Pressure and a Failed Vote, Wisconsin’s Regents Approve Deal on DEI
The deal, which traded cuts in diversity, equity, and inclusion for long-delayed pay raises and building projects, drew concern as a precedent for future funding of the state’s public universities.

This will happen more and more. The goals if the movement are to impose a national imaginary that marginalizes the already-marginalized.
“The Principles of Sociology class, which still would be available, would no longer count toward fulfilling required social science coursework. [It] involves lessons on gender, sex and sexuality and race and ethnicity, according to a syllabus from one university.”

If only we had the urgency to educate all students that we do to get just a few into elite colleges. "The majority of [minoritized] students enroll at community colleges or less selective [4]-year, which never considered race in the first place."

Please also let your higher ed administrators know of Education for All and concrete approaches to take to avoid such self-censorship.
Agreed. Most censorship programs don’t aim mainly to destroy or limit existing material, but to cultivate self-censorship by projecting fear and power.
As someone who studied censorship regimes academically - one of my big takeaways was that these regimes rely to a considerable degree on SELF-censorship even when they have explicit processes for censorship.
Please be aware & adjust your behavior accordingly.

Exactly. The notion that DEI is a political construct is a distraction. The issue is power and attempting to maintain it by marginalizing the already marginalized. Restricting resources, curriculum, and offices is restricting access to higher ed and the promised that come with it.
One reason for this approach is to pit university employees against each other, by making DEI the reason why people are not getting pay raises.
Republican policymakers in Wisconsin have a new strategy for attacking DEI initiatives and public higher ed: refuse to fund any pay raises for 35,000 university employees until universities cut DEI programs/staff and the budgets used to support them. 1/
