President Donald Trump's administration put dozens of college campuses under investigation last year and cut federal funding unless they came in line with his Republican agenda. Now federal officials are taking a wider approach. As new investigations have been dialed back, multiple agencies are rewriting federal rules governing all of higher education. The new tactic goes after many of the same targets, including diversity, equity and inclusion; transgender athletes; and antisemitism. New rules under consideration would require colleges to end DEI policies and ensure they have “intellectual diversity,” a veiled call for more conservative voices. Some people in higher education welcome the approach, saying it invites conversations that didn't happen during last year's investigations.
