With President Donald Trump and his administration, some Americans, especially students, may be interested in how this will affect their education by cutting federal funding from major universities to promote diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives and allow anti-Semitism.
Despite their concerns, the situation is not as tragic as it looks. The affected universities were not exactly clear or completely honest about the grants they lost.
First the Trump administration Pause Last month, Columbia University received $400 million in federal funding. This was followed by the administration in April. Pause More than $1 billion to Cornell University, $790 million to Northwestern University and $510 million to Brown University.
The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Published data About many grants that were excluded. These termination grants reveal how much the university was wasted with taxpayer dollars.
For example, Columbia University In vain The university’s new “Anga Centre for Climate Justice, Health Equity, Community Welfare, Community Welfare” over $1 million, “Anga Centre in Gender Africa, Community Well-Being”, and “Gender Harming Transgender User Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Cancer Screen User Guide to Enhance Guide to Ender User Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide to Enhance Guide
These are just a few of the over 160 fired grants listed from Colombia, with a majority based on DEI and radical gender ideology studies, but Brown University was just as bad.
Brown University said it “we spent nearly $1.3 million examining health comorbidities and health use disparities among older transgender and cisgender adults in the United States.
As ridiculously as some of these grants might be heard, leaders at these university panic and publicly ridden the actions of the Trump administration.
in front I’ll step down Katrina Armstrong as interim president of Colombia I insisted A freeze in funding would “immediately affect the university’s research and other important functions.” This comment from the previous interim president is wary of consideration
What she might consider “critical” or at least Colombia Looks happy Working with the Trump administration, ultimately receiving federal funds again.
Meanwhile, Brown University President Christina Paxon appears ready to resist.
Paxon I said To be “forced to exercise our legal rights vigorously” in order to fight back. Unfortunately, she appears to be more than willing to oppose the administration so that the DEI initiative can continue to receive funding, rather than prioritizing student education.
As it sounds so depressing, the DEI program should be expected from Ivy League University recently. They were captured by leftist ideologues decades ago. It’s amazing Number of grants The Trump administration has also been excluded from universities in the Red State.
As an example, the University of Mississippi spent $35,000 on “cross-sex steroid therapy and cardiovascular risks in transgender women.” The University of Arkansas spent $2 million on research into “universal basic income and structural racism in the Southern United States.” The University of Central Florida spent $410,000 on research on “facilitators and barriers to healthcare use among racially and ethnically diverse transgender and gender non-binary young adults.”
Dei is also incorporated into research into Alzheimer’s disease. Emory University spent $1.7 million. “We have built community and research involvement among older adults in sexual and gender minorities at risk for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia.” The University of Nevada University of Las Vegas spent $650,000 studying Alzheimer’s disease in older transgender adults.
This is a study that deals with diseases that affect a growth number Americans. There is no reasonable explanation as to why millions of dollars were spent connecting it to gender ideology.
The Trump administration is cutting federal funding from universities around the country to eliminate inadvertent spending on such nonsense. If university administrators can ensure that taxpayer dollars prepare students for the advancement of workforce, there is no reason to fear the administration.
The situation is not at all disastrous. Universities need to end unnecessary spending on unnecessary DEI programs. The solution is so simple.
