Impacts of Anti-DEI Initiatives on Educational Institutions and Policy - Paperback

by Oris Tamaria Griffin (Editor), Bryan Scott Zugelder (Editor)

Educational institutions across the United States are experiencing a growing upheaval as anti-Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives and policies increasingly shape institutional practices and public policy. These efforts are prompting major shifts in campus structures and access to support for historically marginalized students and faculty. Opponents argue such policies correctly perceive bias and prioritize neutrality, while critics warn they undermine decades of progress toward equity and representation for underrepresented groups. Emerging research and institutional reports show that rolling back DEI can lead to reduced support systems and decreased diversity among students. Impacts of Anti-DEI Initiatives on Educational Institutions and Policy describes how political climate impacts people's positions in P-20 education. It examines how educators and education leaders navigate anti-DEI political agendas. Covering topics such as educational policy, public policy, and DEI, this book is an excellent resource for administrators, educators, academicians, government workers, policy makers, educational institutions, and graduate students.
