AL Political Reporter: “The UNC System Board of Governors approved a new policy to repeal and replace its previous diversity, equity and inclusion policies and requirements for the system’s 17 campuses.
The repeal and replace vote taken on the consent agenda was 21-2. The only no votes came from members Joel Ford and Sonja Phillips Nichols.
The new policy will emphasize equality and nondiscrimination over diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) concepts that critics and members of the UNC Board of Trustees (BOT) and Board of Governor (BOG) say are divisive and counterproductive.”
