The National Association of Diversity Officers in Higher Education (NADOHE) has published its second “State of the Chief Diversity Officer” (CDO) report. Following up on the 2023 survey, the 2025 study shares some interesting findings. Have efforts to rid higher education of DEI’s influence been, from NADOHE’s members’ perspective, a decidedly undesirable success?
The report received responses from 394 CDOs and academic diversity officers (ADOs) and asked how these roles had changed either positively or negatively since 2023. Although one might expect such a study to illustrate that DEI is in danger on higher-ed campuses, the findings don’t convincingly indicate that. For those of us who support the downsizing of DEI in higher ed, in fact, the findings are actually pretty disappointing.
For example, due to the formatting of the report, it appears that NADOHE wants readers to focus on comments in a highly visible purple square implying that many DEI offices have been shut down, altered, or eliminated. In reality, however, the survey found that only eight percent of those who indicated a change to their role noted that it had been discontinued outright or that their responsibilities had been discontinued. In other words, only 12 of the 394 participants indicated having lost their DEI role in the past two years, despite the Trump administration’s attempts to cull DEI in higher ed.
Instead, it appears that the majority of altered DEI offices on college campuses have merely been combined with different departments. Twenty-nine percent of DEI offices reported “office changes,” and, of that group, only 14 percent (17 survey participants) indicated that their office was dismantled or eliminated. Several reported that their offices had been merged with other offices, and still others reported a mere office name change.

Excellent news to start the day!
but obviously much more work to be done.
A bogus job title. Shouldn’t be one anywhere.
I think we found a problem
“The National Association of Diversity Officers in Higher Education (NADOHE)?
Why does such an abomination even exist! This reads like it is the communist socialist Politburo.
In his novel, The Hunt for Red October, Clancy describes how there was a political officer aboard the Soviet nuclear submarine. He was non-military and his job was to ensure that the officers abided by correct political thoughts.
This is the same job these DEI officers engage in, in higher education.
State of the CDO? Man they made that office and organization up out of used toilet paper.
Commissar
They aren’t sad. They’re evil.
“Excellent news to start the day!”
Not if you actually read the article. The headline is misleading.
“Although one might expect such a study to illustrate that DEI is in danger on higher-ed campuses, the findings don’t convincingly indicate that. For those of us who support the downsizing of DEI in higher ed, in fact, the findings are actually pretty disappointing.”
A CDI “officer” is a pimple astride of a wart on top of a festering wound created by stepping on a nail covered with dog Obamastuff.
There have been some small steps in the right direction. There is much more to be defunded. You should talk with your state legislators about that.
It will be a good day when ALL DEI “advisors,” “coordinators,” or CEOs are fired - and those positions are never to be filled again.
I agree with President Trump:
“Trump Tells New York Times Civil Rights Led to White People Being ‘Very Badly Treated’”
“White people were very badly treated, where they did extremely well and they were not invited to go into a university to college,” he said, “So I would say in that way, I think it was unfair in certain cases.”
“I think it was also, at the same time, it accomplished some very wonderful things, but it also hurt a lot of people — people that deserve to go to a college or deserve to get a job were unable to get a job. So it was, it was a reverse discrimination.”
Awwww, sad. Uhh, go to Canada and ask their socialist NHS for their final solution.















I had to pull some of these for re-distribution.
By all means!
Great collection! And all true! Thanks!
