In response to anti-DEI legislation in the states, universities have started to hire more white male faculty. This increase starts before bills are signed into law. Universities appear to be anticipating anti-DEI legislation and preemptively hiring more white men.

This paper shows that children are significantly less likely to enter the academic track if they come from a low socio-economic status family. A low-intensity mentoring program can improve long-run education outcomes of disadvantaged children and reduce inequality of opportunity.
