Harvard College, Faculty of Arts and Sciences Replace Diversity Offices Amid DEI Purge
The dismantling of Harvard’s diversity offices arrived at Harvard College on Wednesday as websites for centers serving minority students, LGBTQ students, and women disappeared suddenly and without fanfare.
The quiet removals came as the Faculty of Arts and Sciences — which houses the College, Harvard’s undergraduate school — announced internally on Wednesday afternoon that it would shutter its diversity office and replace it with an Office for Academic Culture and Community.
The same afternoon, web pages belonging to the Harvard College Women’s Center, Office for BGLTQ Student Life, and Foundation for Intercultural and Race Relations were taken down. Links to the centers’ sites now redirect to a nearly empty web page for an Office of Culture and Community within the College’s Dean of Students Office.
College spokesperson Jonathan Palumbo declined to say whether the centers would continue their operations and whether their staff would remain at Harvard, but referred Crimson reporters to a statement on the new page saying that the College anticipates “broadening this mission-critical work with renewed energy.”
The rollout this week comes more than two months after Harvard renamed its central diversity office — and represents the most far-reaching effort yet to scour references to diversity, equity, and inclusion from the University’s official materials as the Trump administration demands their elimination.
And the changes also arrive as the White House has boasted publicly — and Harvard’s leaders have spoken privately — of reopened negotiations between the two parties. In recent days, dynamics seem to have soured once again, with the Trump administration serving the University a subpoena and threatening its accreditation Wednesday morning.

Comments
Is Harvard really shuttering its DIE office, or is it just changing the name to obscure its actions? I would bet it’s the latter.
It’s the latter. Harvard thinks the name change will fool us who are not Harvard grads. They are so much smarter than the rest of us.
academia putting lipstick on a pig
Vanish like dew on a warm spring morning?
Or vanish like cockroaches when the light turns on?
“…it would shutter its diversity office and replace it with an Office for Academic Culture and Community”.
Different name, same personnel, same goals.
No they haven’t. They are just being renamed and the useless racists in those departments are given a new title. DEI marches on
