Groups representing colleges and universities have urged President-elect Joe Biden to “move quickly” and undo many of President Trump’s orders that affect higher education policy, including Title IX reform and critical race theory. In a letter from the American Council on Education, which was signed by 46 higher education groups, President Ted Mitchell wrote that the incoming Biden administration should remove the new Title IX mandate for a live hearing with cross-examination in cases of sexual assault on campus. Grant recipients include many universities that have embraced critical race theory training, a view that asserts certain institutions are inherently racist and that race itself is used by White people to further their own interests at the expense of people of color. Trump ended new enrollment for the program in 2017. Fox News' Tyler Olson and Andrew O'Reilly contributed to this report.
