State Oversight

California State University’s systemwide strike quickly ended with a tentative agreement. Some faculty members are urging a no vote on what union leaders say is an “excellent” deal.

The university’s public affairs school published poll results criticizing university leaders, who then insulted the poll’s methodology. The school fired back.

Florida’s State Board of Education imposed new prohibitions on DEI spending at state colleges, following a similar decision for state universities.

Critics fear that Jeff Landry is seeking undue power over the state’s universities. Pre-emptively, some institutions have already backtracked on DEI.

The state’s four-year colleges and universities opposed a two-year college’s proposed business degree, citing program duplication. Experts say that’s the wrong argument.
