The University of North Carolina system has reported a significant decrease in positions with the elimination of 59 jobs and the realignment of 130 others, following the repeal of its DEI policy.
The UNC Board of Governors repealed its DEI policy, which previously guided diversity initiatives across the system, leading to a shift that cost approximately $17.1 million in program expenditures.
In response to the new compliance requirements stemming from the policy change, UNC Chapel Hill cut its central Office of Diversity and Inclusion, attracting scrutiny about its commitment to diversity.
The adjusted job titles and responsibilities at UNC institutions reflect a broader shift away from DEI language, indicating a strategic pivot in administrative priorities following the policy overhaul.
