Former President Donald Trump announced that he is implementing changes at private American universities to prioritize merit and hard work over "group identity." This initiative includes new Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs that he has mandated for Brown University.
Details regarding the specific DEI programs adopted by Brown University under Trump"s directive have not been disclosed. However, the changes are said to align with Trump"s assertion that they will focus on individual merit rather than collective identity factors.
This announcement comes amidst ongoing discussions about the role of DEI initiatives in higher education and their impact on admissions and hiring practices. Trump"s administration had previously taken a critical stance on certain DEI efforts, arguing that they could undermine merit-based evaluations.
