This is so typical of the left. Don’t change the policy, just change the words.
From the UT Daily Beacon:
UT system to rename Division of Diversity and Engagement as Access and EngagementThe UT System’s Division of Diversity and Engagement, which is tasked with promoting diversity, equity and inclusion across all campuses, will soon be renamed as the “Division of Access and Engagement” in an effort to better reflect the division’s mission, as well as move away from some potentially divisive terminology.Those who work within the division are responsible for ensuring that campus environments remain inclusive and accessible for all students, faculty and staff of the university. This work is meant to promote “diversity, equity and inclusion” and is more often referred to simply as DEI. In the past, DEI has been instrumental in the uplifting of minority groups, who may otherwise lack a voice.In a statement from the university regarding the name change, it was revealed that the UT system hopes to move towards prioritizing blanket access to higher education across the state.“UT System President Randy Boyd has charged all campuses in the system with prioritizing access to a UT degree for Tennesseans, and to better reflect the socioeconomic demographics of our state,” the university said in a statement to the Beacon. “As part of this effort … the division will change its name to the Division of Access and Engagement. The university’s commitment to the Board of Trustees’ Diversity Statement has not changed.”The name change will advance gradually throughout the university system and will rename the Knoxville campus’s Office of Diversity and Engagement, while also changing the titles of the DEI offices, committees and divisions within colleges and schools.
