Higher Ed in Crisis | The State of DEI: Premium Webinar | October 28
Analyzing the Shifting DEI Debate
For the past several years, The Chronicle has extensively covered the rapidly changing DEI landscape across higher education. Our DEI Legislation Tracker has kept readers up-to-speed on state and federal legislative proposals affecting diversity, equity, and inclusion programs on college campuses, while our Tracking Higher Ed’s Dismantling of DEI has documented the real life shifts in hundreds of campuses' programs, policies, and offices across the country.

Since 2025, those changes have accelerated. Just last month, the Trump administration proposed regulations that would call institutions’ nonprofit status into question based on race-conscious policies. If passed, this would create a multitude of financial burdens in a higher-ed landscape already rife with budgetary and public pressure. 

To help you keep up with these changes, and to shed light on how institutions across the country are responding, The Chronicle is hosting a premium webinar on The State of DEI on October 28. Join Chronicle reporters Jasper Smith and Daarel Burnette II to explore where DEI in higher education stands today and where it may be headed next, drawing on their extensive reporting and tracking.

The conversation will analyze:

  • The history of diversity efforts and its impact on minority enrollment, retention, and graduation rates. 
  • The legality, motivations, and fallout from state and federal DEI bans and censorship laws. 
  • Which of the hundreds of anti-DEI bills passed, how they impact college administrators, and what administrators can expect from next year’s legislative session.  

  • How hundreds of colleges have responded to the new DEI restrictions and shifting policies.
  • How faculty and students at flagship, private, and minority-serving institutions are responding to the changes in the DEI policies and programs.
