Here are some additional resources to keep up with the most important DEI issues on campus:
Explanatory journalism: Reporters Adrienne Lu and Katherine Mangan have explained what DEI officers do and don’t do, analyzed why diversity statements are so controversial, and published a special report on the successes and failures of colleges’ diversity training.
Trend coverage: Mangan and Lee Gardner this summer reported a series of stories about the mysterious drop in white enrollment. And we recently wrote about a new effort afoot to change the way the federal government distributes money based on the racial composition of colleges’ student bodies.
Data-powered insights: Last year, after we tracked 12 states passing anti-DEI laws, reporters Erin Gretzinger, Maggie Hicks, Christa Dutton, and Jasper Smith began tracing how colleges were changing their diversity efforts in response to political efforts. We have so far identified 232 college campuses in 34 states making changes to, among other things, the names of their multicultural centers, their hiring practices, and the ways they identify and set aside services for groups of students.
