Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : Trump has hinted at potential legislation to fine universities over diversity initiatives.
46% : States including Kansas and Iowa passed laws banning DEI offices and initiatives in higher education, and Republican lawmakers in about two dozen states proposed at least 50 bills to restrict DEI programs last year.
37% : Trump has heaped scorn on the federal Department of Education, describing it as infiltrated by "radicals, zealots and Marxists."
36% : But like many conservative politicians before him, Trump also has called for dismantling the department altogether, a cumbersome task that likely would require action from Congress.
20% : Trump, who has vowed to rid America's schools of perceived " wokeness," also has plans to cut funding for schools that defy him on a multitude of issues on his first day in office, though even some of his supporters say he lacks the authority to make such swift and sweeping changes.
