While\u00a0diversity, equity and inclusion<\/a>\u00a0may on the surface seem focused on certain groups, in fact DEI programs benefit people from all walks of life \u2013 including white people.<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump and other conservatives have increasingly attacked such initiatives\u00a0as discriminatory<\/a>\u00a0based on the presumption that they benefit only students of color and members of the\u00a0LGBTQ+ community<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Most recently, Trump issued an executive order on Jan. 20, 2025, directing federal agencies, including the Department of Education, to\u00a0eliminate support for DEI positions and projects<\/a>. The order labels them \u201cillegal and immoral discrimination\u201d and \u201cradical and wasteful.\u201d<\/p>\n

The\u00a0impact of this sweeping order<\/a>\u00a0has been seismic<\/a>\u00a0across the U.S. government<\/a>,\u00a0private sector<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0in education in particular<\/a>\u00a0as universities\u00a0have begun eliminating or rebranding<\/a>\u00a0their DEI programs and the Department of Education has removed any initiative and even any document or material that referenced diversity, equity or inclusion.<\/p>\n

As\u00a0professors of education<\/a>\u00a0who\u00a0have studied DEI programs<\/a>\u00a0in higher education, we believe these attacks represent a misconception about which groups DEI higher education programs actually support. The reality is, DEI policies help a wide range of people access and succeed in college regardless of their racial or ethnic background.<\/p>\n

Breaking down DEI funding by race<\/strong><\/h4>\n

It\u2019s a challenge to determine the exact percentages of federal DEI funding allocated to groups of students broken down by race and ethnicity. There is limited publicly available data.<\/p>\n

Broadly speaking,\u00a0a large majority of people<\/a>\u00a0within most racial and ethnic groups receive some kind of federal funding \u2013 some of which is connected to DEI programs. That includes 81% of Black students, 74% of American Indian\/Alaska Native students, 72% of Hispanic or Latino students, 70% of white students, and 66% of Asian students, according to a 2023 report from the National Center for Education Statistics based on data during the 2019-20 academic year.<\/p>\n

The center\u2019s data does not indicate whether those grants were explicitly designated for DEI initiatives. For example, Pell Grants are need-based, but not explicitly DEI.<\/p>\n

That said, DEI initiatives encompass a broad range of programs that\u00a0support various underrepresented groups<\/a>, including first-generation college students and\u00a0students with disabilities<\/a>. They also\u00a0benefit women<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0veterans<\/a>. Each of these groups invariably includes\u00a0many white students<\/a>.<\/p>\n

First-generation students<\/strong><\/h4>\n

At most universities, a portion of DEI funding is dedicated to programs\u00a0designed to support the success<\/a>\u00a0of first-generation students, or students whose parents did not graduate from college.<\/p>\n

DEI initiatives enhance<\/a>\u00a0first-generation students\u2019 academic success by addressing their unique challenges, such as financial constraints, cultural adjustments and unfamiliarity with college environments. They do this through\u00a0tailored support programs<\/a>, inclusive learning communities and mentorship opportunities.<\/p>\n

Research shows that first-generation students are likely to adopt what psychologists call\u00a0performance avoidance goals<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 such as the fear of looking incompetent \u2013 so they play it safe and don\u2019t try too hard, which can hinder their academic success. But DEI efforts such as faculty engagement programs and dorm communities that mix academics and social support help foster supportive environments that\u00a0mitigate those challenges<\/a>.<\/p>\n

National data shows that\u00a056% of college students are first-generation attendees<\/a>.\u00a0White students represent 46%<\/a>\u00a0of that group, more than any other single race.<\/p>\n

Students with disabilities<\/strong><\/h4>\n

People with disabilities make up the\u00a0largest minority group in America<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 and represent a\u00a0growing share of college students<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Disability access is a vital yet often overlooked component of DEI efforts, with\u00a020.5% of undergraduate students reporting a disability<\/a>. Many institutions address this through\u00a0disability services<\/a>, which ensure students receive such appropriate testing accommodations as extended exam times, classroom support and access to assistive technology.<\/p>\n

Accommodations for individuals with both sensory and physical disabilities are\u00a0universally accepted and ensure access to everyone<\/a>\u00a0regardless of their ability. DEI initiatives, particularly those focusing on accessibility and support services, play a pivotal role in ensuring\u00a0students with disabilities<\/a>\u00a0have equal opportunities to succeed.<\/p>\n

Given that disabilities affect people from every ethnicity, gender and socioeconomic background, the erasure of DEI programs that support them hurts all groups \u2013 and that includes white people, who made up\u00a021.1% of all undergraduate students with disabilities<\/a>\u00a0in the 2019-20 academic year.<\/p>\n

We believe it is particularly critical to fund programs that include students with disabilities because, in the past, public providers did not create\u00a0equitable opportunities<\/a>\u00a0for all.<\/p>\n

Before the passage of key legislation such as the\u00a0Rehabilitation Act of 1973<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990<\/a>, students with disabilities were often excluded from mainstream educational settings or received inadequate support. Even since those laws were enacted, enforcement has been inconsistent, and gaps in accessibility\u00a0persist today<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Women and veterans<\/strong><\/h4>\n

In addition to those two groups, DEI programs also target women and veterans.<\/p>\n

For women, who make up more than\u00a0half of college students<\/a>, they promote equity in\u00a0male-dominated fields<\/a>\u00a0such as science, technology, engineering and math, and\u00a0leadership roles<\/a>\u00a0in government, academia and the private sector.<\/p>\n

For veterans, DEI programs provide\u00a0tailored resources<\/a>\u00a0like academic support, mental health services and career transition assistance that recognize the\u00a0unique challenges<\/a>\u00a0some of them face in higher education.<\/p>\n

The GI Bill, which provides financial assistance to veterans pursuing higher education, has also gotten caught up in Trump\u2019s DEI purge. While it wasn\u2019t designed back in 1944 as a DEI initiative \u2013 and has often\u00a0failed to ensure equitable access for Black veterans<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 the Department of Veterans Affairs\u00a0has recently tried to provide targeted support<\/a>\u00a0to veterans of diverse backgrounds. Trump\u2019s\u00a0order ended those programs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While veterans\u00a0make up only 6% of undergraduate students<\/a>, the majority of them \u2013 about 60% \u2013 are white, with 16% Black, 14% Hispanic and 3% Asian.<\/p>\n

Close to home<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Collectively, those groups and others have benefited from the over\u00a0US$1 billion in grants the Education Department<\/a>\u00a0has allocated to DEI programs since 2021.<\/p>\n

Diversity encompasses a lot more than just race, and that\u2019s why DEI programs are intended to benefit a broad range of people who historically have been underrepresented at universities or have lacked support.<\/p>\n

For both of us, the end of these types of programs hits close to home. One of us is white, and one of us is Black, but we\u2019ve both benefited from DEI initiatives aimed at first-generation college students and women.<\/p>\n

We also both have family members who are veterans or who have disabilities and who have received financial support and resources that made a significant difference in their ability to go to college.<\/p>\n

Most American families \u2013 even if they don\u2019t realize it \u2013 can tell a similar story of how programs aimed at diversity, equity and inclusion helped them achieve the American dream.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s order describes DEI programs as \u201cillegal and immoral discrimination programs\u201d and says Americans deserve \u201ca government committed to serving every person with equal dignity and respect.\u201d<\/p>\n

In our view, the orders are more likely to have the opposite effect.<\/p>\n
