A recent decision from University of Kansas leadership to reorganize the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion has prompted backlash from faculty and staff who say the changes were made without consultation from the marginalized communities who will be affected.
About 60 department chairs, numerous faculty staff councils and the graduate teaching assistants union, among other groups, signed letters to Chancellor Douglas Girod and Provost Barbara Bichelmeyer last week, asking them to reverse or reconsider the decisions.
