Colorado College (CC) announced Thursday it will welcome any college student seeking to transfer from an “anti-DEI state,” according to a press release.
Several states have banned the usage of public funds for initiatives in public schools and universities, such as diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, that prioritize persons on the basis of immutable characteristics such as race or sex, and the Supreme Court struck down race-based admissions in June. The program at CC is called “Healing and Affirming Village and Empowerment Network,” which aims to provide a place for students who wish to leave colleges and universities that no longer have DEI departments, according to the press release.
“We are excited to launch this new program as the college deepens our commitment to anti-racism,” Vice President for Enrollment Mark Hatch said, according to the press release.
“HAVEN is a response to an immediate need for those in harm’s way and I am proud that CC is acting out our commitment to antiracism in such a meaningful manner,” Rosalie Rodriguez, associate vice president of Institutional Equity and Belonging, said in the press release.
Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed a bill in June banning the usage of public funds for programs that favor one group of individuals over another on the basis of race, gender or ethnicity, effectively outlawing DEI programs in the state. Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill doing the same in the state Florida in May.
North Carolina’s legislature overturned Republican North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper’s veto of Senate Bill 364 in June, banning DEI in the state. Tennessee enacted a bill outlawing the teaching of “divisive concepts” in May 2022, including DEI. North Dakota Republican Gov. Doug Burgum signed a bill prohibiting DEI statements as requirements for employment.
Colorado College did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: Believe it or not, today’s high priests of climate-change apocalypse are correct in predicting that in just a few short years, the earth will become miserable, wretched and almost uninhabitable by human beings. But the grim future they envision won’t come about because of “catastrophic climate change,” but rather, because of the implementation of their completely insane and truly catastrophic agenda.
As Greenpeace co-founder Dr. Patrick Moore recently admitted, “If they actually achieve Net Zero, at least 50% of the population would die of hunger and disease.” Likewise, writes energy expert and author Alex Epstein: “Today’s proposed policies to rapidly eliminate fossil fuel use would, if fully implemented, have truly apocalyptic consequences – making the world an impoverished, dangerous, and miserable place for most people.”
Question: When the scientific case for global warming apocalypse consists primarily of a 1-degree Celsius rise in temperature over more than 130 years, what explains the obsession with an imminent, climate-caused end of the world?
Although many groups have been drawn into the Climate Change Cult – from the news media (which has warned of climate catastrophe, either global warming or a “new ice age,” for over a century!), to innocent school kids indoctrinated by hysterical leftist teachers, to liberal Democrats who claim “climate change” will destroy the earth in a few years – the REAL villains are the national and global elites who KNOW the apocalyptic global warming religion is just a cruel hoax, but promote and exploit it as a means of accomplishing their ultimate goal: Transforming and ruling the world.
The heart and soul of today’s bizarre, pagan climate-change religion, and the global elites’ strategies for using it to rule all of mankind, is powerfully exposed and illuminated in the September issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, an issue titled “CULT OF THE CLIMATE APOCALYPSE: The elites’ breathtaking strategy for ruling the world.” WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
