Several universities continue to promote a “white supremacy narrative,” which “leads them to believe that mainstream American conservatives are actively advocating for white racial superiority,” according to CriticalRace.org.
The organization, which tracks diversity, equity and inclusion efforts in higher education, notes that several universities have continued to push DEI concepts in the age of Trump 2.0 using the term “white supremacy.”
“Research by CriticalRace.org indicates that a number of colleges continue to feature references to ‘white supremacy’ in content presented on their primary university websites,” reported Legal Insurrection.
“You can close the DEI department, it’s probably going to be called something else,” Cornell Law School Professor William Jacobson, founder of the group, told the Daily Signal.
Seven universities were flagged by the group, including San Diego State University, which states on its website that it provides students with “accurate knowledge to critique white supremacy and promote social justice” in its College of Arts and Letters’ “Statements of Solidarity.”
Similarly, Loyola University Maryland issued a “Statement of Solidarity with the BIPOC Community at Loyola and Beyond” that echoed white supremacy themes, reported Legal Insurrection.
The University of Tennessee at Knoxville hosts a “white supremacy” education program for children and young adults, and Boston University offers a free course through its School of Social Work titled “Understanding Structural & Institutional Racism,” and a main topic of the class is “white supremacy.”
Kemberlee Kaye, managing editor of CriticalRace.org, told the Signal that ending DEI is “almost like a whack-a-mole situation.”
“These institutions have been so deeply captured that it’s not a matter of simply cutting funding to one office and that solves the problem,” she said, adding colleges and universities are “rebranding things.”
