An opinion roundup reports that since a White House executive action, at least 181 colleges have announced closures, renamings, or rollbacks of diversity, equity and inclusion offices. Institutions including Harvard, Notre Dame, Cornell and others have shifted DEI functions into broader units or renamed programs to comply with federal guidance, the piece warns. Campus leaders and trustees must weigh compliance risks against programmatic loss, as changes could affect recruitment, staff roles, and donor relations while prompting student and faculty pushback and legal challenges over free-speech and non-discrimination obligations.
