I don’t feel like the reasons behind this are the same.
Biden/Obama: We want you to accept and protect everyone
Trump: I want you to deliberately reject certain races and nationalities, and close all the departments studying stuff I don’t like.
The current administration refers to inclusion of PoC and women as "DEI", so when they talk about ending DEI, that's what they mean.
See https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/17/defense-depa... for one example where it's particularly blatant.

I call bullshit on them wanting to ban women and black people from colleges, that is not what they mean when they say end "DEI", you are crazy.
Can you post a single link where they even hinted at wanting to ban black people and women from colleges? That is such an egregious accusation that you need more than just that they took down a page about a black guy.

Oh I’m sure it’s not as egregious as them wanting to ‘literally’ ban them. There’s no need for something quite that drastic. But think of how much nicer the place would be (not to mention more useful for networking) if none of these poor people were ever accepted in the first place.

Which race are colleges not allowed to accept? Source for this?
