NC universities eliminate programs, decline grants to comply with Equality Policy

Public universities across the state of North Carolina are being forced to restructure programs and staff due to changes in state and federal regulation. These include the banning of DEI and the threat of the federal government withholding funding. As part of the restructuring, UNC abolished 41 vacant positions, 35 of which were “diversity liaison” roles. The UNC Board of Trustees is pleased with the current progress at the university.
