The legal situation for private non-profit universities (particularly those without religious affiliation) is quite a bit more complicated than anyone on this thread seems to realize, mostly for statutory reasons. Maybe with the exception of Hillsdale and a few others. I have honestly no idea what SCOTUS would do with these cases absent an agency rule or legislation banning DEI statements, for example, and IMO anyone who claims otherwise is a clerk, a SCOTUS judge, married to a SCOTUS judge, or lying :) I am fairly confident that state legislatures could ban DEI statements at public universities, but I am also fairly confident that this wouldn't actually change anything and that people who think otherwise haven't ever been a serious applicant for a faculty position.
