The governor of South Dakota, Kristi Noem, has called for changes in the way higher education is taught and conducted in the country. She noted that these programs tend to focus on feelings over facts and lead to leftist indoctrination.
To ensure that schools follow her guidelines, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem established a whistleblower hotline that allows students to report any issues they have with their educational institutions. This program can help faculty members and students maintain the state's values in higher education.
Among the governor's plans are to make college more affordable, require universities to get rid of donations and funding from China, and teach US history and American government to make sure that students are knowledgeable about the country's history and principles.
Across the nation, higher education is in a state of crisis.

Many states have been allowing liberal ideologies to infiltrate universities and colleges, which undermines their stated goal of fostering discourse, discovery, and ideological diversity. According to Noem, many educational institutions have become too close-minded and focus more on feelings than facts.
Noem has been a critic of the Democratic Party's policies on transgender issues, which she says are aimed at normalizing the practice. This year, she signed two laws that prevented transgender individuals from participating in athletic teams. She also banned the provision of gender-affirming care for kids. As South Dakota's governor, Noem is dedicated to ensuring that the state's public universities follow the proper values.
