In the latest example of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) and wokeness at educational institutions, Campus Reform reports that the University of Buffalo is funding research on ‘queer theory’ and ‘racial capitalism.’
“The University at Buffalo’s Gender Institute will fund grant projects with up to $7,000 to advance scholarship related to women, gender, and sexuality.”
In January 2025, President Trump signed the Executive Order ‘Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity.’
It targets DEI and DEIA programs across the federal government, private sector, and institutions of higher education.
The University of Buffalo’s grants seem to fly in the face of the order.
“Funding, which ranges from $1,000 to $7,000, can support “data collection, archival research, fieldwork, research assistance, supplies, books, software, travel integral to the development of the project, and other forms of research support and curriculum development expenses.”
“A grant from fall 2025 supported a monograph about Shakespeare’s Macbeth and abortion. The project was titled “Queering Birth, Queering Death: The Problem of Life in Early Modern Literature.”
