Higher Education will continue to be a target of the anti-democratic, anti-DEI, anti-intellectual movement. Those concerned, follow and join @Ed4AllAboutAll--a group of #HigherEducation leaders seeking to collaborate about these issues. www.abcactionnews.com/news/state/f...

Another great piece by Jeremy Young. For higher education leaders looking for ways to defend higher education, consider joining Education for All. Our membership consists of leaders across the country seeking to resist the Anti-DEI legislation movement. thehill.com/opinion/educ...

For those who think Anti-DEI is going away, #highered will see more of it. "And while the broadsides against DEI have percolated in state legislatures, they have also become favored talking points for some conservative governors in an election year" www.chronicle.com/article/amid...

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.

This article is full of quotes from politicians showing how political interference, focused on marginalizing the already-marginalized, threatens our very democracy. Great reporting. www.chronicle.com/article/afte...

Oklahoma is the latest state to adopt anti-DEI legislation. I encourage those of you in highered to let your leadership know about Education for All, a group of leaders resisting this movement. Please message me for more information about Education for All. oklahoma.gov/governor/new...

“They’re trying to purge academia of people who don’t agree with their radical world view..." The argument that attacks on DEI lead to professionals leaving states is not a strong one--it is the goal of those attacking DEI. www.chronicle.com/article/why-...

This is an important step in positioning all higher education against anti-educational, anti-democratic, and anti-DEI legislation. www.chronicle.com/article/accr...

Such a great piece showing how restricting stories equates to active marginalization and repression. Beautifully written, with direct narrative showing the threat to freedom that the anti-DEI, anti-CRT, book-banning, curriculum gagging movement is. www.newyorker.com/news/essay/w...

The goal is not to remove a single course, but to limit education to only a very few, about a very few. www.insidehighered.com/news/student...

Anti-DEI legislation runs directly in alignment with more diversity in higher education.

This will happen more and more. The goals if the movement are to impose a national imaginary that marginalizes the already-marginalized.

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."

Voting and the trajectory or education and so democracy are inextricably intertwined. Get your students and employees out there to vote!

Please also let your higher ed administrators know of Education for All and concrete approaches to take to avoid such self-censorship.

"Fighting and prevailing against attacks on DEI will require a similar, well-coordinated, and funded countermovement among college leaders, policymakers, philanthropists, and think-tank organizations." Education4All is one of these collaboratives. www.diverseeducation.com/opinion/arti...

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.

Books are a way to widen the imagination; our imagination limits or expands who we consider friends, brothers, sisters. More books=more love. www.nbcchicago.com/entertainmen...

Who we hire today impacts tomorrow. As we engage with Anti-DEI legislation, we have to grapple with the fact that language creates reality. Work-arounds will not always be the answer. www.diverseeducation.com/from-the-mag...

Latest from a strong voice on highered's need to resist anti-DEI legislation, Patricia McGuire, President at Trinity University. www.chronicle.com/article/how-...

This is the sort of work we in #highered need to consider and collaborate toward. www.diverseeducation.com/leadership-p...
