The Trump administration is giving America’s schools and universities two weeks to eliminate diversity initiatives or risk losing federal money.
Michigan Tech Trustees will consider a response to that at their board meeting in Houghton tomorrow.
The agenda includes a vote to terminate the university’s Diversity Incentive Award program, which enhances student aid to members of under-represented groups.
MTU announced earlier this month it had moved its Center for Diversity and Inclusion staff to the Waino Wahtera Center for Student Success.
Officials noted that compliance with federal policy is a condition of contracts maintained with the federal government.
Other colleges across the nation are also scrambling to respond to the new dictate.
Tomorrow’s Board of Trustees meeting will begin at 9:00 in the Memorial Union Building ballroom. You can review the full agenda here.
