At colleges and universities, DEI programs advocate for the rights of marginalized communities across race, class, religion, sexual orientation, gender, and ability, seeking to diversify campus populations as well as to make educational spaces more welcoming to people of all backgrounds. The Latine population has historically used DEI services, like student affinity groups, during their time in higher education, as cultural, racial, and class differences have meant that Latines are more likely to be first-gen students and have more difficulty navigating majority-white spaces.
