University of Nebraska at Kearney pulls trans-focused faculty training after governor's threat

The University of Nebraska at Kearney canceled a transgender-focused faculty training module after online backlash and condemnation from Republican Gov. Jim Pillen, who threatened investigations or funding cuts if similar programs were not removed. The voluntary workshop, part of a diversity initiative, was criticized by social media accounts like Libs of TikTok, leading to its removal and a university statement emphasizing academic rigor over 'woke indoctrination.'
