Diversity, equity, and inclusion ideology is set to be gutted at the University of North Carolina system, as the governing board of all 17 schools in the system voted Thursday to repeal and replace DEI with a new focus on equality and nondiscrimination.

DEI ideology has spread across higher education in recent years, creating a massive bureaucracy that enforces race- and gender-based frameworks for hiring, admissions, and every other area of operation. UNC has become the latest in a growing trend of states and schools to start unwinding the initiatives and staff that push them.
