US EditionDEI on Campus: UConn to maintain DEI office
- In 2025, the University of Connecticut confirmed it will maintain its diversity and inclusion efforts on campus, including its dedicated office and multiple cultural programs, affirming these actions comply with federal regulations.
- This decision follows widespread federal activity and executive orders from January 20 restricting race-based considerations in education, leading many universities to dissolve or rename their diversity offices.
- Universities such as Ohio State, Virginia, Kentucky, Michigan, and Case Western Reserve have dissolved their diversity and inclusion offices, while others like the University of Idaho renamed or closed theirs following state bans in late 2024.
- UConn emphasized it does not use race as a factor in decisions, does not segregate or exclude based on race, and affirmed its ongoing compliance with Title VI as part of its mission to expand access and opportunity for all.
- The university's stance reflects continued efforts nationwide to maintain DEI initiatives despite legal challenges and political opposition to such programs across higher education institutions.
