The University of Michigan has doubled down on its D.E.I. efforts, investing nearly $250 million since 2016, yet struggles to achieve its goal of improved campus climate.
Despite extensive investment in D.E.I. initiatives, the percentage of Black students remains stagnant at around 5%, highlighting challenges in attracting and retaining underrepresented groups.
Students and faculty indicate a declining sense of belonging and a deteriorating campus climate, contrary to the intended outcomes of the university’s D.E.I. programs.
Michigan has created what may be the largest D.E.I. bureaucracy among public universities, yet the effectiveness of this extensive effort is under scrutiny.
