Georgia universities are rebranding their anti-white, diversity, equity, and inclusion to circumvent newly passed anti-DEI policies.
Back in 2023, the University System of Georgia in 2023 prohibited the use of DEI statements for the hiring process, and colleges and universities in the state were also instructed to stop using DEI lexicon in teaching training standards.
As a response to these changes, back in October Georgia Tech announced it would integrate its DEI policies into the school’s academic and administrative units “rather than being run out of a separate, central office.”
Georgia Tech President Ángel Cabrera announced in a press release that the university’s aim was to make improvements at “weaving these programs into the fabric of the Institute.”
Furthermore, the press release added that programs and staff “will shift from the office of the Vice President of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion into the Office of the Provost, Student Engagement and Well-Being, Institute Communications, and Administration and Finance.”
At Kennesaw State University, President Kathy Schwaig revealed back in December 2023 in a faculty email that the university will rebrand its Division of Diverse and Inclusive Excellence by changing its name to the Division of Organizational Effectiveness, Leadership Development, and Inclusive Excellence.
The current Chief Diversity Officer, Sonia Toson, will be promoted to vice president and be in charge of leading the rebranded department, the email noted.
There’s a clear push by leftist in red states that have passed anti-DEI policies to try to circumvent these laws. The Left does not take legislative defeats in stride.
They’re going to try to find ways to not comply with these laws or flat out undermine these laws.
Such circumstances make it necessary for the Right to double down and implement even more stringent measures to clamp down on the Left.
