46% of U.S. College Students Oppose Mandatory DEI Courses: New Study Reveals

A recent College Rover survey reveals that 46% of U.S. college students oppose mandatory Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) courses. While 70% of students see DEI programs as beneficial for promoting diversity, political divides influence opinions. The study also highlights strong interest in race, gender, and identity classes, but students prefer voluntary participation. With 30% reporting DEI’s influence on their political views, the debate continues on whether these programs should be mandatory in higher education.
