It also enforces civil rights laws to ensure equitable access to education. The act creating the department described its mission, in part, as: “To strengthen the Federal commitment to ensuring

A photo, which appears to have been taken in the gymnasium of Long Beach’s Cabrillo High School, shows students wearing T-shirts that spell out a racial slur. The picture depicts eight students.

As universities navigate an increasingly polarized political landscape, many have adopted institutional neutrality policies, limiting official statements on social and political issues. Supporters say these policies preserve academic freedom and prevent institutions from endorsing particular viewpoints, while critics argue they suppress important discourse and leave students feeling unheard. The University of Michigan’s Board of Regents unanimously approved a new policy – institutional neutrality for university leaders – on Oct. 17, 2024. This decision aligns with a broader trend among higher education institutions to limit official commentary on contentious topics. Regent Mark Bernstein emphasized the policy aims to empower individual faculty
