Heads up about potential changes to college diversity programs

I actually dug into this story from the Hechinger Report and wanted to flag it for anyone here thinking about going back to school. The Trump administration is essentially threatening colleges' tax-exempt status if they maintain race-conscious admissions or scholarship programs, and a lot of institutions are getting spooked into backing away from these initiatives. Here's why this matters to us: many women returning to education, particularly women of color and low-income women, have benefited from scholarships and targeted support programs designed to address historical barriers. If colleges start dismantling these programs out of fear before courts even rule on what's actually legal, we lose real opportunities. The piece makes a solid point that schools should understand the actual legal requirements rather than preemptively cutting programs. Wanted to make sure people going through this process know what conversations might be happening behind the scenes.
