In a recent turn of events, there has been a surge of protest from UNC Asheville students, faculty, and staff in response to the UNC System policy that would potentially remove Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives from university programs.
University of North Carolina at Asheville Chancellor Kimberly Van Noort and Interim Provost Herman Holt recently made the decision to discontinue the diversity hiring program, sparking outrage and concern among the university community. This move has prompted faculty members to respond with a petition urging for the reinstatement of the DEI initiatives.
The decision to discontinue the diversity hiring program has not been well-received by the students, faculty, and staff at UNC Asheville. Many believe that DEI initiatives are crucial in creating a welcoming and inclusive campus environment that values diversity and representation.
Protests and demonstrations have been organized on campus by students, faculty, and staff, all advocating for the preservation of DEI initiatives. The UNC Asheville community is coming together to voice their concerns and stand in solidarity against any actions that may undermine diversity and inclusion efforts.
As the situation continues to unfold, the future of DEI initiatives at UNC Asheville remains uncertain. Students, faculty, and staff are hopeful that their voices will be heard and that the university administration will reconsider its decision to discontinue the diversity hiring program.
