Colleges are canceling affinity graduations due to anti-DEI policies. Here is how students are preserving the traditions | CNN

Universities across the country have canceled and withdrawn support for affinity graduations due to threats from President Donald Trump if they do not end diversity, equity, and inclusion practices.

The “including Harvard” is my own inclusion, not from the article’s title.

But I think it’s important to note that despite the public battles that Harvard is having with Trump, even they are ultimately caving to Trump’s policies behind the scenes.

    TIL that

    Affinity graduations are optional events typically led by students to celebrate different student identities and ethnicities. Commonly held ceremonies often honor Black, Hispanic, Asian, first-generation and LGBTQ+ students.

    That doesn’t sound any more controversial than campus clubs for specific minority ethnic groups. Are colleges worried that they fall into the “racist if white people did it” category? (I would argue that they don’t.)
