Tom Daykin reports:

School leaders have been debating whether and how to overhaul Michigan’s D.E.I. program since last spring. The Board of Regents signaled in December that changes were likely, arguing that the school’s expansive D.E.I. effort had failed to make it meaningfully more diverse or inclusive. 

But Thursday’s announcement comes at a more charged moment, as the Trump administration mounts an all-out war on what it considers D.E.I. in both the public and private sectors. Through executive orders and administrative actions — and often operating under a vague and expansive definition of D.E.I. — President Trump has taken aim at an array of policies and programs in higher education, framing them as part of a pernicious and illegal spoils system for racial minorities.
