New York prepares to battle Trump’s DEI funding threats in fight over schools
In a bold move, the state of New York is set to challenge the Trump administration’s recent demand for compliance with federal civil rights law, particularly in regards to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives in schools. This comes as the Trump administration has threatened to withdraw funding from universities that do not comply.
New York’s Education Department announced that it had already been in compliance with the law and was committed to continuing its efforts to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in education institutions. This decision marks a stark contrast to other states that have chosen to comply with the Trump administration’s demands.
The move is part of a broader pushback against the Trump administration’s efforts to restrict DEI initiatives in schools. The New York Education Department’s announcement comes amid a tumultuous time for schools, with universities like Brown University and Columbia University facing funding cuts after refusing to comply with the administration’s demands.
In a statement, a spokesperson for the New York Education Department emphasized the state’s commitment to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in education institutions.
