Harvard University has renamed its Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) office following the Trump administration’s decision to freeze billions in federal funding to the school.
The DEI center, which was previously called the Office of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging, has been renamed to the “Office of Community and Campus Life,” as reported by The Harvard Crimson.
The university made the announcement on Monday; the name adjustment was announced by Sherri A. Charleston, the school’s former chief diversity officer.
...
As of publication, the website for Harvard’s former DEI center still refers to the old name, and includes references to “diversity” and “inclusion.”
The university also canceled funding for racially discriminatory “affinity” graduation ceremonies, as noted by National Review.
The Trump administration had previously placed Harvard University under federal review, threatening nearly $9 billion in federal funding unless the school complies with specific directives targeting DEI policies and anti-Semitism on campus.
On April 8, the administration issued a list of required changes, including banning masks at protests, cooperating with law enforcement, ending race-based hiring and admissions and dismantling DEI programs.
the Trump administration specifically directed Harvard to “shutter” DEI programs.
When Harvard declined to comply, the federal government froze $2.2 billion in funding on April 14, citing civil rights violations and a failure to meet the intellectual and legal standards expected of federally-funded institutions.
Harvard President Alan Garber initially rejected the administration’s demands, claiming they violated constitutional rights and exceeded legal authority under Title VI.
“We have informed the administration through our legal counsel that we will not accept their proposed agreement,” Garber wrote at the time. “The University will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights.”
Nobody will ever figure it out!
Right and Socialism is definately not Communism.
harvard is so smart
wicked smart
Just as affirmative action became DEI, DEI is being disguised with a different name. They will continue to take Whitey’s money and then trash Whitey as they brainwash their students to hate this country.
I’ve heard of other companies rebranding their DEI insanity this way too. It needs to stop.
Same thing happened at one of my alma maters. Tx legislature outlawed DEI. So, the Uni rebranded. So, the politicos announced that they thought that might happen so when next budgeting cycle comes about there will be an intense audit by the politicos of the Uni — before any monies are approved.

I don’t care what they call it, but the discrimination has got to end.
The left uses language as weapons.
Universities aka cesspools of disinformation.
Lipstick, meet pig.
And if they get one cent of taxpayer funds they need to FULLY open up their admission process and scholarship data.
I don’t care what Harvard does. I’m not interested in subsidizing them. Maybe there is some compelling reason we should but I don’t see it.
Yeah, well a skunk by any other name will smell as bad!
They change the name to try to hide it all the time,LOL
LOL!
If it looks, walks and quacks like a duck, IT IS A DUCK!
Does Haaaavaaaard REALlY expect that their renamed duck will fool anybody?
NOTE TO HAAAAAVAAAARD: DEI IS DEI, WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT!
Might as well just call it the Office of Blah Blah Blah.
The left uses language as weapons.

They usually mask their goals using happy sounding opposites.
For example, the “Affordable” care act was exactly the opposite. It was primarily a mandate and subsidy scheme.
Another one was the “Inflation reduction” act. It was exactly the opposite, and could effectively be called the spend, launder, and print money act.
