MLB ditches DEI language / Racist Ideology could violate civil rights law
Major League Baseball has removed references to “diversity” from its MLB Careers home page following an executive order by President Donald Trump that could lead to possible federal action against organizations using racist DEI programs in contravention of his administration’s interpretation of civil rights law. MLB says in a statement "our values on diversity remain unchanged” and “we are in the process of evaluating our programs for any modifications to eligibility criteria that are needed to ensure our programs are compliant with federal law as they continue forward.”
Columbia University agrees to policy changes / Trump threatened to pull Federal funds
Columbia University agreed to implement a host of policy changes, including overhauling its rules for protests and conducting an immediate review of its Middle Eastern studies department. The announcement Friday came one week after the Trump administration presented the Ivy League school with a list of demands to continue receiving federal funding. That ultimatum was widely seen in academia as a stunning attack on academic freedom. In a letter, the university's interim president vowed to appoint a senior vice provost to review the Middle East studies department and to ban the wearing of face masks to conceal one's identity on campus.
