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.”
Too late for Harvard.
So now they will be committing fraud to escape the EO. Now they will be criminally liable for the racist woke crap.
A skunk by any other name...
Like renaming a pedophile to lover of young children.
I’ve noticed other schools, too, using the new rainbow code word “community.”
The name change is good!
But Harvard also needs to fire serial plagiarist and “diversity” jock Sherri Charleston!
$9 billion a year. Why does Harvard get $9 billion a year in funding with its deep money.
