With a federal deadline to eliminate all the diversity, equity and inclusion programs expired on Friday, dozens of advocacy groups in the upper emergency exhorts the Trump administration to cancel the “unreasonable” dei letter that threatened the investigations and the loss of federal funding.

THE February 14 Dear colleague letterCalled the “DCL”, “aroused generalized concerns and confusion” and left college and academic leaders to determine whether their programs are breaking the new rules, says a letter Connected by the American Council on Education and more than 60 other organizations.

“The DCL of the Ministry affirms that the diversity, the efforts of equity and inclusion and the initiatives on the campus are largely discriminatory,” said the letter from the American Council on Education. “However, we define Dei – and Dei is a concept which means different things for different parts – it should be noted that the range of activities which are generally associated with Dei is not, in themselves, illegal.”

The letter Dei gave to K12 colleges, universities and institutions until February 28 to eliminate all the diversity, equity and inclusion programs, using as a legal basis the 2023 decision of the Supreme Court Students for fair admissions c. Harvard This prohibits admission policies based on breed in higher Ed. The letter, published by the Civil Rights Office of the Ministry of Education, accuses educational establishments of using the race, rather than merit, to select students for diversity programs and similar initiatives.

The coalition of the American Council on Education qualified the deadline as two weeks of “unreasonable”. He also maintains that this legal argument is too vague to apply to the extent of higher Ed Dei programs and ignores the protections of the first amendment granted to colleges and universities. The letter is also contradictory when it indicates that it has not established a new law but threatens colleges with legal sanctions, says the coalition.

“Unfortunately, the reference (the letter) to the” Dei programs “gives no clarity to the institutions concerning their obligations under the law or on the way in which legal programs previously designed to support students could now be in violation of the law,” said the letter written by the President of the United States Education Ted Mitchell.

The coalition hopes to work with the Office of Civil Rights of the Ministry of Education to revise the advice of the letter DEI and ensure that colleges and universities comply with the laws on title VI and federal non-discrimination.

The American teachers’ federation, its chapter from Maryland and the American Sociological Association continued the Ministry of Education on the letter of DEI, qualifying its advice as “serious attack on students, our profession and our knowledge itself”.

“Federal law already prohibits any president from telling schools and colleges what to teach. And students have the right to learn without the threat of the cultural wars led by extremist politicians who hang above their head, “said the president of the American teachers’ federation, Randi Weingarten a declaration.
