Trump cracks at universities. Florida had a lead

Gaineville, Florida – Bia Castanho held his head and mouth as a classroom talks in the direction of politics for three years as the new student of Florida. Practically every time the students entered a debate with their conservative orientation, she ended badly for her, she said.

Her time on campus has led to a concerted effort by Republican legislators to reduce what they consider as anchored liberal orthodoxy in Florida's institutions of higher learning. In a class last autumn about the economy of agriculture, she felt enough encouraged to take a position: Donald Trump was right, the illegal immigration was wrong and agricultural workers without adequate documentation should not be allowed to work.

“Things change,” said Castanho, now senior. “When I arrived here when they were a conservative, people thought that they were a hater, a racist or homophobic. At least at least some people will listen to their ideas. “

During his presidential campaign, Donald Trump vowed “our once great educational institutions to regain radical left”. The latest decrees from him and his new administration order Colleges in order to end the diversity, equity and inclusion programs, or everything they see as a discriminatory – or the risk of loss of federal financing – to begin the process.

The universities roll back programs that fear that they are in the foreground to guide the new administration and that they could make other changes. The University of Virginia voted last week to dissolve its Dei and Community partnerships. “Dei is ready at the University of Virginia,” said Governor Glenn Youngkin.

The University of North Carolina will no longer state that students accept DEI-related courses to fulfill general education or the most important requirements, and Andrew Tripp, the Senior Vice President for legal affairs and General Counsel of the system, wrote Chancellor in February. The risk of endangering federal research financing was “just too great to postpone measures,” he wrote.
