The University's decision to remove DEI and bias modules raises concerns about the administrators' integrity.
Housing and Residence Life (HRL) cut diversity, equity, and inclusion training modules for resident advisors earlier this year.
HRL's actions nullify the benefits that prior inclusion and belonging training had for the role of RAs.
HRL did not transparently inform student leaders, exacerbating the division between students and administration in governing residence halls.
By sweeping their actions under the rug, HRL disadvantages the residential communities it aims to build.
Author's summary: HRL's revised DEI policy harms students and undermines benefits of prior training.
