Case Western Reserve University Shutters DEI Office
“University officials declined to say if any current employees would lose their jobs due to the office’s closure.”
It seems like we’re seeing this happen at two or three schools every month now. It’s a good thing.

Case Western Reserve University closes DEI office
Case Western Reserve University shuttered its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) office Wednesday, citing pressure from President Donald Trump’s administration.
University president Eric Kaler delivered the news to faculty, staff and students in an email Wednesday afternoon. He said the decision was effective immediately.
Kaler, who leads the largest private university in Ohio, specifically called out two federal executive orders calling to end all DEI work as motivation for the decision.
“We have watched the evolution of the legal challenges to these executive orders, and, as we have seen among some of our peers already, it is clear we must be in compliance with them to receive the federal funding that is critical to our present and future,” Kaler wrote.
University officials declined to say if any current employees would lose their jobs due to the office’s closure.
Case Western Reserve’s move comes as the Trump administration has withheld federal funding to some universities nationwide over issues such as transgender students participating in sports and universities’ responses to campus protests.

It’s a good thing only if they actually ditch DEI, not just rename it.
I’m still amazed at how many “leaders of men” are sheep who meekly submit to whoever is the bigger leader this year.
“You don’t like my principles? I can adopt others.”
Good point: they’re doing it as sheep, not as yielding–finally–to rationality.
