The impact of job training on free speech and democracy in academia is being examined, as debates over belonging, free expression, and diversity initiatives continue on college campuses. Republican lawmakers are seeking to fund free speech programs while cutting diversity initiatives, leading to conflicts over racial equity and free speech. The University of Wyoming canceled a social justice institute due to the elimination of funding for diversity initiatives. The University of Wisconsin system has reached an agreement with lawmakers to freeze hiring for diversity positions and eliminate an affirmative action faculty hiring program. The Supreme Court has backed a ban on drag events on campus, and the House Education and Workforce Committee has advanced bills targeting political litmus tests in higher education. Trust in academia and the decline of free speech on campus were discussed in a panel at Duke University. Misleading claims in educational curricula are also being addressed. Penn's temporary expression guidelines have raised concerns about the impact on free press. #HigherEducation #FreeSpeech #Diversity #AcademicFreedom #FirstAmendment...
