U.S. President Joe Biden speaks about his plans for continued student debt relief after a U.S. Supreme Court decision blocking his plan to cancel $430 billion in student loan debt, at the White House in Washington, U.S. June 30, 2023. The rule is separate from Biden's more sweeping student debt relief plan. The Supreme Court in June blocked his administration from canceling $430 billion in student loan debt for 43 million borrowers. The Democratic president has since announced plans to provide relief for student loan borrowers using a different approach. CCST sued in February after the Education Department in October finalized a rule changing a "borrower defense to repayment" program that allows students to seek debt relief if their schools mislead them.

The Other Stanford DEI Scandal
  + stars: | 2023-04-03 | by ( Betsy Devos | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
What happened to Judge Kyle Duncan at Stanford University was repulsive and unacceptable, and the staff who aided and abetted it—most notably DEI dean Tirien Steinbach—should be fired. This isn’t the only scandal on that campus worthy of attention and outrage. The school also faces a criminal case of false sexual-assault accusations. Both instances were complicated by the incessant buildup of nonteaching bureaucrats. Stanford now employs more administrators than it enrolls undergrads—focused on an agenda, not education.
Columbia Law Students Are Upset

The nation’s top law schools are the latest battleground for politics and free speech on campus. Barely two weeks after Stanford Law School students shouted down Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Kyle Duncan , Columbia Law School students want to erase news that some students met with Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh . On Feb. 23, members of the Columbia Federalist Society went to Washington and met with Justice Kavanaugh at the High Court. On March 14, Columbia Law School posted a photograph of the meeting on its Instagram account with a brief note that the law students had a chance to “engage in conversation” and hear about “the Court’s deliberation process and how to be an effective advocate.”
Diversity and Free Speech Can Coexist at Stanford

Stanford Law School’s chapter of the Federalist Society earlier this month invited Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Kyle Duncan to speak on campus. Judge Duncan answered in turn. Students involved in the protest had previously requested that the event be canceled or moved to Zoom. In my role as Stanford Law School’s associate dean for diversity, equity and inclusion, I supported the administration’s decision not to cancel the event or move it to video, as it would censor or limit the free speech of Judge Duncan and the students who invited him. Instead, the administration and I welcomed Judge Duncan to speak while supporting the right of students to protest within the bounds of university policy.
My Struggle Session at Stanford Law School
  + stars: | 2023-03-18 | by ( Stuart Kyle Duncan | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +1 min
Stanford Law School’s website touts its “collegial culture” in which “collaboration and the open exchange of ideas are essential to life and learning.” Then there’s the culture I experienced when I visited Stanford last week. I’ve spoken at law schools across the country, and I was glad to accept this invitation. One of my first clerks graduated from Stanford. I gave a talk there a few years ago and found it a warm and engaging place, but not this time. As I entered the classroom, one protester screamed: “We hope your daughters get raped!”
The Tyranny of the DEI Bureaucracy
  + stars: | 2023-03-18 | by ( The Editorial Board | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Critical race theory is becoming institutionalized across American universities, and a major reason is the educational bureaucracy. Most universities now have offices for diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI, that exercise a broad writ on campus and act as speech police within the university. That power was on ugly display last week at Stanford Law School, where a mob of law students shouted down Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Kyle Duncan in a spectacle unfit for any institution of higher learning. (Judge Duncan relates his experience nearby.)
