The bill is similar to Florida’s ban on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives in public colleges, which was signed into law last May.
This political theater lifts up a caricature of college, one on which coddled minds are seduced into liberal ideas.
If states become hostile to students’ values, those students could choose to go elsewhere or to forgo college altogether.
Part of a larger survey about students’ experiences of higher education, the report left me with one major takeaway: The national debate about so-called woke campuses does not reflect what most college students care about.
They underscore how unhinged our national debate over higher education has become and how misaligned Republican-led public higher education systems are with the bulk of college students.
