US EditionUNC Charlotte Administrator Out After Undercover DEI Video Goes Viral
- On May 28, 2025, UNC Charlotte fired assistant director Janique Sanders after an undercover video showed her admitting DEI efforts continued despite a ban.
- The video stemmed from UNC System repealing a 2019 DEI policy last year, replacing it with a new one promoting equality and nondiscrimination without explicit DEI language.
- In the video, Sanders said explicit DEI positions no longer exist but covert DEI work continues, while university officials claimed her statements were inaccurate and unauthorized.
- Undercover journalist Adam Guillette captured a video that Corey DeAngelis shared on Twitter, in which the administrator explained their strategy by saying they had changed the names, restructured, and adjusted their methods, so to speak.
- The firing drew public support from House Speaker Destin Hall and Chancellor Sharon Gaber, and UNC Charlotte pledged to review employee DEI policy understanding to prevent future incidents.
