[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I worry about the anti-DEI orders and the effects. Not sure how deep this will go and how broadly it could impact our kids. Things like classes or clubs or organizations that could be deemed as DEI not being allowed anymore, for example Women’s studies, Women in Economics club, Black (or any ethnic group) Engineers, etc.[/quote]

All of these “studies programs” and professors will just become part of the history, literature, anthropology, or sociology departments as they always were before the special “group studies” programs emerged. Meaning they’ll just stay there and be a certain “track “but won’t be an official major.

In this way, history, political, science, English, anthropology, sociology majors will actually get larger because they will incorporate all of the smaller group studies programs.

I’ve heard they will be cutting departments so I don’t think that’s necessarily true,  I guess if the budget allows.[/quote]

The dean of U-Michigan LSA is a women’s studies major. 
This whole cost-cutting exercise will be way more nuanced than people realize. Universities are savvy.[/quote]

That isn’t what I hearing.  Cuts are going to be too deep for just changing titles.[/quote]

Ooooh. What you “hearing”. Really?
Give me a break. 
Idiot.[/quote]

Thanks.  I have a family member on the Board of Trustees at one well known private and spouse works at another.  But sure, I know nothing.[/quote]
