The dissolution of a key department on Capitol Hill has sparked concerns among advocates of diversity, equity, and inclusion programs. Amid backlash to the DEI movement, there are fears of altering Civil Rights-era legislation to prioritize 'anti-white racism,' with Utah's college presidents worried about potential legislative targets.
