Two-Thirds of Colleges Still Make Students Take DEI
A new review from Campus Reform, based on research by Speech First, found that 67% of colleges and universities in the United States require students to take Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion courses to graduate. The report looked at general education rules at 248 schools and found that 165 of them had a DEI course requirement. That means only 33% of the schools surveyed did not force students into one of these courses. So much for the idea that higher education is just about learning facts and building skills. Apparently, at many campuses, ideological training still gets a diploma-sized reward.
Public Schools Lead the Pack, and the Lesson Plan Keeps Going Left
The report said 59% of the universities with DEI course requirements are public schools, while 41% are private. It also said students are being pushed into classes that promote far-left ideological views and political activism. That is the part many parents and students are tired of hearing about, because college should not be a conveyor belt for one political worldview. Federal executive orders were meant to remove DEI and wokeness from schools, but this report suggests many campuses got the memo, read it, and filed it under “nice try.”
A Jesuit School’s Course Title Says Plenty All By Itself
Speech First Executive Director Cherise Trump said her group started digging after hearing from students about freshman orientation trainings and online modules. What they found was even more troubling, including semester-long courses required for graduation. One example came from Loyola Marymount University, a private Jesuit school, which offered a course titled “Bad Catholics.” The course description said it would explore dissent, authority, and “cancel culture,” then move into voices from feminist theologians, Black and Latinx liberation theologians, queer theologians, and eco-theologians. In plain English, that is not exactly a master class in tradition and common sense. It is another reminder that many schools still think activism is education, and taxpayers and tuition payers are supposed to nod along.
