| Abstract: | The article focuses on the challenges and strategies related to legislative attacks on higher education, particularly concerning Critical Race Theory (CRT), diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, and LGBTQ rights. It discusses how recent political actions have led to the suppression of educational policies that promote equity, resulting in a hostile environment for marginalized communities. The authors, as guest editors of a special issue, aim to highlight research that examines these legislative threats and the responses from institutional leaders and faculty, advocating for the protection of equity-minded initiatives in a repressive climate. The article emphasizes the importance of collective action and research in safeguarding the rights of diverse communities within higher education. [Extracted from the article] |
