Mike Gavin, president of Delta College, emphasized the disruptive nature of current anti-DEI legislation during a training session for higher education professionals. This legislation imposes scrutiny on diversity initiatives and could undermine support for underrepresented groups. Gavin urged college leaders to resist immediate changes unless legally required and to prepare coordinated responses. His grassroots initiative, Education for All, has expanded from a small group to a network of 500 administrators, committed to training each other against legislative challenges to diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts.
Chaos is the goal," Mike Gavin, president of Delta College in Michigan, told a Zoom room full of higher ed professionals on a January afternoon. "These external forces are trying to cause chaos to distract us from our mission.
Don't change anything until it is absolutely legally required," Gavin told his colleagues.
