WASHINGTON (AP) — As colleges and universities pull back on diversity practices, a new poll finds that young Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders are overwhelmingly against cutting federal funding for diversity, equity and inclusion programs in higher education and deporting students involved in protest activity on campus.But opposition is lower among older groups — despite the fact that most AAPI adults, regardless of age, place a high value on a college education.

found that about 6 in 10 AAPI adults overall “somewhat” or “strongly” oppose cutting federal funding for colleges and universities with DEI programs, and a similar share are “somewhat” or “strongly” opposed to arresting or deporting foreign students involved with campus protests.Younger AAPI adults are largely against these policies: About 9 in 10 AAPI adults under 30 “somewhat” or “strongly” oppose cutting federal funds for colleges and universities with DEI policies, and a similar share are against arresting or deporting students involved with campus protests.Older AAPI adults are more likely to oppose these moves than to favor them, but their opposition is much less overwhelming. About half of AAPI adults ages 60 and older “somewhat” or “strongly” oppose cutting federal funds for DEI in higher education or arresting or deporting students for protest activity, while about 3 in 10 are “somewhat” or “strongly” in favor and about 2 in 10 have a neutral view.

Despite these divisions, the survey shows that AAPI adults continue to see a college degree as critical for achieving key milestones. The vast majority, regardless of age, say a college degree is “essential” or “important” for getting a good job that can comfortably support a family.This poll is part of

exploring the views of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders, whose views are usually not highlighted in other surveys because of small sample sizes and lack of linguistic representation.

The Trump administration hasKayla Patterson, her husband and their five children huddled in a tub in their basement in London, the county seat, as the tornado raged around them.

“You could literally hear just things ripping in the distance, glass shattering everywhere, just roaring like a freight train,” she recalled Saturday. “It was terrible.”The family eventually emerged to the sounds of sirens and panicked neighbors. While the family’s own home was spared, others right behind it were demolished, Patterson said.

Rescuers searched for survivors all night and into the morning, the sheriff’s office said. An emergency shelter was set up at a high school and donations of food and other necessities were arriving.Resident Chris Cromer said he got the first of two alerts on his phone around 11:30 p.m., about a half-hour before the tornado struck. He and his wife grabbed their dog, jumped in their car and sought shelter in the crawlspace at a relative’s nearby home because their own crawlspace is small.
