BREAKING: Stuart Bell told the University of Florida trustees he didn't merely rename and continue Alabama's DEI offices. But unearthed faculty senate meeting minutes reveal that Bell assured faculty the exact opposite was true: "The DEI renaming is a name change only."

Columbia University has reinstated standardized testing for admissions — the last Ivy League school to do it. “Through a multi-year faculty review, it was determined that test scores, among other factors, were a useful indicator of potential student success.”

The entire University of California system abandoned the use of standardized tests in admissions during the pandemic. Now a huge share of STEM and economics faculty is demanding the tests are considered again, @imkahloon reports: theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0…

BREAKING: University of Alabama administrator caught saying she "found some holes" in the law banning DEI. She said "most of our faculty and staff are progressive." They held an event "for drag queens and it was so dope." What is going on here, @UofAlabama?

25 months ago, the UNC System Board of Governors revoked the DEI policy passed in 2019 and replaced it with a ‘neutrality policy’ which respects the rights and voices of everyone, puts no one voice above any other, and prevents universities under our governance from taking sides on the social and political debates raging in our nation. We did this because we believe that campuses which protect all speech, free expression and thought diversity - without favor - are best positioned to protect our democratic right of civil discourse and debate, as compared to other Universities that actively push political and ideological narratives on their students. (We still have a long way to go in this department, I will admit). This is especially true for young people who arrive on our campuses each fall, with open minds and a willingness to search for humanity’s truths, without being indoctrinated or force-fed ideology. Before the neutrality policy was considered, I, along with a number of other fellow Board members, worked hard to refine the language it would contain to ensure the governing policy was balanced, fair, and constitutional, which it is. But the policy is only as good as is its implementation. We expected all Chancellors to fully implement the policy, vertically, throughout their campuses. Some have done a better job than others, as evidenced by this week’s postings and deletions. I look forward to each campus’ compliance filings, due by September 1, 2026, and hope that we will finally see this important policy fully implemented, top to bottom, at ALL our constituent institutions. #ncpol
