Abstract	Repressive laws in the form of anti-diversity, equity, and inclusion legislation and policies seek to roll back programs and initiatives in higher education that promote equal access and opportunity for students from marginalized communities. These repressive laws and other accompanying factors from the legal environment are prompting some institutional leaders, administrators, and faculty members to abandon not only the activities that are prohibited, but those that remain permissible. This article identifies the components fueling this climate of suppression and the consequences that responses to this climate pose for higher education, and offers principles and actions to help leaders mitigate these challenges. The authors contend that these bills must be seen as part of a larger sociolegal environment that includes the 2023 U.S. Supreme Court rulings on race-conscious admissions and other factors that exert significant pressure on education professionals to abandon well-researched, effective, equity-minded practices that remain lawful and essential. To disrupt this suppressive climate, diverse stakeholders--such as advocacy groups and philanthropic organizations-- need to ignite a collective effort to help bolster the capacity of leaders, administrators, faculty members, and students to preserve institutional autonomy and advance the mission of higher education.
