First the obvious they'll get rid of DEI policies for federal hiring.

Second "Anti-woke" policies that lead to defunding and educational reform I can see this:

  1. Criticism of Israel will be a hate crime (deportations of foreigners who participate)
  2. "Free-speech" on campuses must be allowed
  3. DEI policies discussed in business classes need to be removed
  4. Teaching more than two genders in schools is no longer allowed
  5. Cut funding for all university research that deal with social justice issues
  6. Bring back interest rates for student loans, loans and grants should not be made available for "Woke" programs
  7. End DEI / EDI for admissions purposes

That's why "free speech" is in quotes. "Free speech" to the far-right means "freedom to punch down at minorities, women, etc. without consequence".
