“despite lacking approval from the High Point administration”
Despite increased scrutiny from the public, the campus left is doubling down on their commitment to DEI.

Conservative group exposes student gov for attempting to force club to create DEI position
The Student Government Association (SGA) at High Point University in North Carolina attempted to force student organizations to fill a “Chair of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” in order for them to maintain official standing on campus, representatives of the local conservative Turning Point USA (TPUSA) chapter told Campus Reform.
A screenshot uploaded to X (formerly Twitter) by TPUSA field representative Cameron Hembree on Sept. 8 appeared to show an excerpt of the DEI requirement for organizational recognition, which he referred to as a part of “forced diversity quotas.”
According to the TPUSA chapter, the SGA bylaws were amended in February 2023 and posted to a university web page, despite lacking approval from the High Point administration. Student organizations were then informed they would need to conform to the new rule by filling the new positions, including DEI Chair.
A copy of the bylaws provided to Campus Reform notes that, “the following procedures have been established by vote of the Student Senate of the Student Government Association. Changes in these procedures require a two-thirds vote of the Student Senate.”
According to a university official, however, the proposed changes were not adopted by the university’s Board of Trustees.
Hey, @HighPointU and @HPUSga, what is this new requirement for a DEI chair for clubs? The @TPUSA chapter at HPU is being forced to fill this position or they won’t be a registered organization on campus. @tpusastudents do not need your forced diversity quotas to be diverse. pic.twitter.com/6GNdwqjXao
