Colleges prepare for new legal and political terrain under Trump
- Colleges and universities are preparing for new legal and political territory as President-elect Trump returns to office. Concerns for international students, GOP attacks on higher education and increased protests on campus are just some of the worries on administrators' minds.
The article from MSN discusses how colleges and universities in the U.S. are bracing for potential changes in legal and political landscapes should Donald Trump win the 2024 presidential election. Key concerns include shifts in policies related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), affirmative action, and free speech on campus. Trump's previous administration had already made significant changes, such as rescinding Obama-era guidelines on campus sexual assault and altering policies on race-based admissions. With the possibility of Trump's return, institutions are preparing for potential rollbacks of current DEI initiatives, challenges to tenure systems, and modifications to Title IX regulations. Universities are also anticipating increased scrutiny and potential legal challenges from conservative groups, prompting them to review and possibly adjust their policies to align with anticipated conservative policies or to fortify their legal defenses.
