With a lot of these power 5 institutions eliminating their diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, I would like to see the black community come together and create a campaign to educate/recommend to black parents and athletes to not support these institutions. I know money is a factor, but we all know many of these kids are an injury away. The A&T fan base could lead the way in encouraging these kids to be more socially conscientious and to come to A&T.

If only it would be that easy and simple.

UNC System Guts DEI Offices The UNC System Board of Governors’ University Governance committee approved a policy that repeals the university system’s existing policy on diversity and inclusion, which requires each of the state’s 17 public campuses to employ diversity officers and work toward achieving diversity-related goals, among other requirements. The committee passed the policy unanimously and with no discussion. UNC System President Peter Hans was not made available for comment Wednesday. The new policy would eliminate those jobs — or, if a university wishes to keep the positions, it would be forced to remove the job’s ties to diversity.

this is what happens when we don't "vote". had 45 never been put into office, the supreme court "balance" would not be skewed to the right which is why a lot of past rulings are now being "overturned". the "grim reaper" denied president obama the right to nominate his own candidate to fill the vacant supreme court position and instead, allowed 45 to do it.
not voting has "consequences"...

If you only knew, there are more laws being passed and enforced that will directly affect our communities, indirectly affecting the country and its structure. I have a friend whose husband is a retired CIA(intelligence) agent he states that he's buying a home outside of the US and moving his family by 2027. He stated that he is not giving up his citizenship but having the option of removing his family as far as possible from the coming issues. He stated that he behooves me to do the same by 2030. In that setting was a former AGGIE teammate who is a lead detective of 20 plus years in New Jersey, he stated that they have a backlog of cases that are unsolved and recently discovered that the cases are unsolved because they were looking for white men and women, these cases involved West Indians, Cubans and Africans who are registered in the US as white people. Its smoking out here, The billionaires in the US are building 5-10 story bunkers, ell the Jews in my community are building tunnels, and we are surrounded by police precincts.

No problem, schools or institution that do not support closing the racial gaps and disparities will see their minority enrollment numbers decline. Elite black athletes not attending either.

Do we have any programs that fit under DEI? The Office of Intercultural Engagement would likely be an issue. Additionally, the policy is written in a way that some academic research centers that look at various disparities could be impacted as they would not be "neutral."

We have to be concerned and vigilant that these wackos don't try and deem HBCU'S as "DEI" initiatives. There is a full frontal assault taking place on people of color and they are not trying to mask it at all now.

This is an opportunity for black people to come together and advocate for our institutions by pointing out the destruction of initiatives against D.E.I shows the lack of concern by local and state government officials in addressing the social, economic, and educational disparities that continue to plague our society.
