DEI Movement Takes a Giant Step Backward

The October 2024 issue of Campus Report covers the DEI movement’s setbacks, the fall semester on campuses, a judge’s striking down of a “Jew Exclusion Zone” at UCLA, and ongoing efforts to dismantle DEI programs. Several states have passed legislation or taken action to restrict or eliminate DEI programs in higher education, prompting universities to restructure their offices and reallocate funds. The report also discusses the ongoing challenges related to anti-Semitism on campuses and the political landscape surrounding the upcoming elections. A federal judge’s ruling against UCLA for allowing a “Jew Exclusion Zone” during pro-Hamas protests is celebrated as a victory for free speech and religious freedom.
