"we will not stop...We will continue to pursue research questions at the heart of diversity science even as they wain in popularity within the field. We do this, not because we are naïve, but because these questions and this work matters to us and to the communities we care about."
A few new details have come to light, most of them noted in this essay by Judith Butler.
My dismay has only deepened. It is a shocking violation of institutional trust—and I write as an undergraduate alumnus and 20-year faculty member of a place that has meant so much to me. Devastating.

Secretary Kennedy @SecKennedy “@Hersheys just pledged to eliminate synthetic dyes from its candy by the end of 2027. I call on all other companies to follow their lead and help Make America Healthy Again.” Bloomberg Hershey to Remove Synthetic Dyes From its Snacks by End of 2027 June 30, 2025 | Kristina Peterson
Tens of thousands of Americans will have died (literally) from Medicaid cuts by the time Hersheys removes nontoxic synthetic dyes from their high-calorie, low-nutrition candies
