The University of North Carolina (UNC) voted to scrap its DEI positions, at a university governance committee meeting on Wednesday, following the lead of Florida and Texas.
Another state university system is moving to eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion requirements and roles from its campuses, as part of a growing backlash to DEI ideology in schools across the country. The University of North Carolina board of governors committee voted in less than four minutes on Wednesday to repeal and replace the system's existing diversity and inclusion policy and replace it with a different policy, The Associated Press reported.
In March, the University of Florida fired all employees and administrative appointments for its DEI offices. Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who championed eliminating DEI from public institutions in his state, said he hoped others would follow Florida's example. 'DEI is toxic and has no place in our public universities. I’m glad that Florida was the first state to eliminate DEI and I hope more states follow suit,' DeSantis said.
