Betsy Smith added context: "That resolution is pretty funny because basically what they voted to speak out against was a tuition freeze. In other words, they voted to stop the Trump administration's request that they admit students on academics, not on their DEI. Once again, they're finding the wrong side of an 80-20 issue or a 90-10 issue."
