MTSU Announces Potential Changes, Cuts to Comply with New Anti-DEI Law, Trump Order

  • Middle Tennessee State University announced on June 10 it is reviewing programs to comply with Tennessee's new anti-DEI law and a Trump executive order.
  • The changes respond to the 2025 Dismantling DEI Departments Act that bars public institutions from maintaining diversity, equity, and inclusion programs.
  • MTSU President Sidney McPhee said the university must restructure or remove DEI references, and the review may lead to program cuts or layoffs.
  • University spokesperson Andrew Oppmann said on June 11 he had no specifics yet but emphasized efforts to support students and minimize disruption.
  • These actions imply significant operational changes at MTSU, affecting around 20,000 students, as the university seeks legal compliance while managing community concerns.
