Michigan State University recently opened a $38 million Multicultural Center to act as a “sanctuary” for “minorities” with rooms designated for “diversity, equity, and inclusion” student groups.
An education expert told The College Fix the center could violate President Donald Trump’s recent executive order banning DEI initiatives in federally funded institutions.
“The MSU Multicultural Center (MCC), guided by a student-developed mission, aims to provide a supportive space for students from historically oppressed backgrounds to learn, grow, and access the resources necessary to succeed and graduate from a predominantly white institution,” the room reservation page for the center states.
Further, “the building will be a sanctuary for all minorities at MSU,” the center’s feasibility report states. It will also allow “an opportunity for others to acknowledge the past, learn about who we are today, and grow by not fearing what they don’t understand or haven’t had the chance to experience.”
