Kennesaw State University is getting rid of its “Black Studies” major this year, with some blaming the decision to President Donald Trump’s executive orders regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion in higher education.
The decision prompted a protest and condemnation from the Georgia NAACP. But a conservative African American advocate told The College Fix that many such programs have become “echo chambers” of the left.
The public research university in Georgia announced the closure of its black studies major in an email to faculty in April. The email, first reported at The Atlanta Voice, stated the major would be terminated due to its inability to maintain a three-year rolling average of at least 10 graduates a year.
