The university has been collecting more than $300,000 in donations from diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) funds since 2021, the published report found.
Reportwhich was implemented by Defense Education (DE) and was first shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation, reveals that many schools are creating donation funds to focus their money on programs such as the DEI scholarship and the “George Floyd Memorial Scholarship” and the “Anti-Racism Fund.” In response to the Trump administration’s crackdown on the DEI initiative, some of these efforts have been rebranded to no longer be explicitly described as DEI, the report argues.
The DE report found that at least 128 schools from 44 states and Washington, DC created over 270 DEI funds, raising approximately $336,271,100 in donations, primarily between 2021 and 2025.
The report found that the University of Nebraska Lincoln University (UNL) was one of several schools renamed “The Office of the Diversity and Inclusion Fund.”Community and Attribution Support Fund. Similarly, Louisiana State University (LSU) appears to have it. Rebranding The report states that “Diversity, Equity and Media Grants” for “Manship School Izard and Scrippilot Grant” is “to support research projects that analyse dialogue and behaviors that counter racism, institutional discrimination and systematic oppression.”
“The country, caught up in the police killing of George Floyd, has seen unprecedented protests against police brutality and systematic racism targeting Black Americans,” said LSU. Website I’ll read it. “The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately impacted racial and ethnic minorities, bringing further attention to dangerous racial disparities in healthcare. The development of these events reinforces our mission to advance key conversations through research findings in the field of journalism and large-scale communication.”

University of Michigan (UM) also said,Anti-Racism Fund“It seeks to support individual student projects for anti-racist work, with a special focus on facing anti-blackness, racism against Indigenous people and white hegemony.”
Before 2021, UM also released a DEI report covering 2016-2021 title “Infrastructure Items: Funding for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” said the school “stolen more than $98,665,269 for a wide range of DEI initiatives and funding,” including items such as the “George Floyd Memorial Scholarship.” The UM report was then removed from the website.
“U.S. universities have established funding focused on advances in diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) within the institution, especially in the wake of George Floyd and Black Live Matter,” the DE report reads. “President Trump’s executive order encourages universities to remove web pages and stop DEI-related programming, but this does not necessarily mean that these agencies are ending these practices forever.”
Over 3,000 donors I contributed In 2022, he reached the UConn Foundation Fund at the University of Connecticut (UConn) $23 million to “support important DEI factors such as race, socioeconomic, gender, and sexual identity.” (Related: Blue State continues to support life)
Some schools, such as the University of Southern California (USC), have said, “National DEI Defense Fund“De said, along with the school’s race and equity centre to try and fight back on Day.
“The establishment of the National DEI Defense Fund is one of many ways that the USC Race and Equity Center is banning books, eliminating diversity and inclusion education programs, and countering politicized efforts to curb truthful teaching about the American racial past,” the school’s website reads. “Politicized attacks on diversity, equity and inclusion pose a serious threat to democracy. Protect the rights of students, parents and educators by making tax-deductible gifts today.”
Since taking office, Trump has worked to eradicate DEI initiatives and race-based programs from schools and federal agencies. 1 Order “End and prioritize radical and wasteful government DEI programmes.” Several schools and statewide have shown their intention to deny DEI violating civil rights laws and not follow the administration’s demands to terminate all DEI initiatives.
The administration has sent many warnings about requests to end the program and is quick to threaten cuts in federal funding for those who may still follow racial integration practices.
Well, UConn and USC did not respond to DCNF’s request for comment.
