The Critical Role of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
All Things Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) is a space where you can find information and resources in the area of Diversity and Inclusion on the local, national and international levels that impact our communities. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion play a critical role in the success of our communities, organizations, businesses, institutions, government agencies, and other entities. The United States and the world are becoming increasingly diverse, and we must strive to develop and support multicultural communities and initiatives that value and accept differences, and actively engage and work towards a more equitable, fair, and inclusive society.
"Purdue dumps DEI. Impacted Boilermakers search for next steps"
Harvard University renames its DEI office as its battle with the Trump administration....
Breaking News for all the Purdue University Alumni/Boilermakers: Our Alma Mater has cut all Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Programs/ offices across campus in so called compliance with state and federal regulations…well there you have it. This one hits close to home for me because it was the Office of Multicultural Programs where I worked as a Graduate Assistant in the COA that funded my doctoral studies and covered my expenses throughout my graduate studies as well as many other students I recommended for funding. To say I’m devasted would be an understatement…SMH
P.S. I heard that the Black Culture Center may stay but I know what that means just a building standing with no support for Minority population of students. OK then

Record Numbers Of U.S. Students Are Applying To Colleges In The U.K.
A record number of American students are applying to colleges in the United Kingdom, this year, according to new data released last week.
That surge in interest comes as the Trump administration continues its highly publicized campaign against many aspects of higher education in this country, including attacks on international students, cutbacks in research funding, pressure on university presidents, crackdowns on elite institutions, and challenges to various components of the curricula – particularly those having to do with diversity, equity, and inclusion programs.
One apparent effect of these tactics is a marked increase in the number of American undergraduate students looking to U.K. institutions to continue their post-secondary education.

Yesterday Target announced their CEO, Brian Cornell, would be stepping down after 11 years, much of the story surrounded their decline in sales, highlighted their decreasing foot traffic, or focused on the 19% decrease in profit.
And while those factors are all correct, they represent more of the ‘what’ vs taking a deeper look at ‘why’.
It's essential to be clear as to why this is happening to Target.
Target, which has been beloved by so many across the country and throughout the world, had built itself up as a fun, inclusive contemporary retailer that people looked forward to as a destination to shop for goods, many of which are considered discretionary by its customers.
It was one strategic decision this past January that unraveled years of investment, brand trust, built-up reputation, and consumer loyalty.
They eliminated DEI.

What 30 Years of Campus Racial Climate Research Can Teach Higher Ed
The Quiet Part Out Loud: Target Ditching DEI Cost The CEO His Job And Investors $12 Billion
The Quiet Part Out Loud: Target Ditching DEI Cost The CEO His Job And Investors $12 Billion
Three decades of research on campus climate for students of color shows that little about their experience has changed. The authors of a recent paper hope further research can help.
Across three decades of research on campus racial climate, many negative experiences that students of color face remain stubbornly consistent, according to a new study published in the Community College Journal of Research and Practice.
The overview of more than 100 campus climate studies shows that students of color continue to feel less at home on campuses than their white classmates and often encounter racism in their day-to-day lives as students.
The study also highlights underexplored areas for further research, including a need for more data on racial climate at community colleges and students’ racial experiences in activities such as internships and study abroad programs.
