"UNC System's Swift Policy Change Threatens Diversity Staff and Goals"

A committee within the University of North Carolina Board of Governors swiftly voted to repeal a diversity, equity, and inclusion policy, potentially impacting staff jobs and diversity efforts across the university system. The move, which will be voted on by the full board next month, has sparked controversy, with conservatives arguing against DEI programs and Democrats and former university leaders advocating for diversity celebration. Similar actions have been seen in other states, with at least 20 states facing Republican bill proposals seeking to limit diversity and inclusion programs in public institutions.
