As the debate rages on whether U.S. universities should enshrine or cut their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, a new study has found that a large chunk of American college students reject being force-fed these initiatives.
College research and data site College Rover surveyed over 1,000 American college students and found that 45 percent of them oppose making DEI courses mandatory on college campuses.
College Rover founder Bill Townsend, who published the study in November, told Fox News Digital that these students oppose mandatory DEI programs because they “may feel apprehensive about enforced participation, viewing it as limiting personal choice or ideological freedom.”
On the other hand, 54 percent of college students believe “these classes should be mandatory for all students,” his report noted.
