Indiana University Shuts Down DEI Office
“IU will continue to affirm its fundamental goal of ensuring every student is equipped to thrive — in the classroom and after graduation”
Another one bites the dust. This is happening all over and it’s amazing. DEI is DOA.

IU closes diversity office, aligns with new federal guidelines
Indiana University has officially closed the Office of the Vice President for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion effective immediately, according to a press release on Thursday.
In the statement, the school said this decision ensures IU complies with state and federal laws regarding diversity and inclusion.
Additionally, the Office of Institutional Equity has been renamed the Office of Civil Rights Compliance. The school said the new name better reflects its role in ensuring that IU follows federal civil rights laws.
The Office of the Vice President for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion website has already been removed from the Internet. Remnants of the website still remain through use of an internet archive service.
According to the now-deleted website, OVPDEI assisted more than 8,000 IU students every semester and conducted more than 12,000 mentoring and tutoring sessions every year.
“IU will continue to affirm its fundamental goal of ensuring every student is equipped to thrive — in the classroom and after graduation,” read the release.

Comments
Until they release the names of the DEI officials that have been fired, it’s just another scam.
I hope we all know these actions are a joke. I’ve been in higher ed for over 25 years and DEI under whatever name you want to give it has been and continues to be standard policy. The DEI offices they created emphasized the practice and monitored across the institutions like a powerful central government, but just eliminating these offices will not end the practice. It is ingrained and part of higher ed’s DNA.
