UNC system removes DEI course requirements following Trump orders

  • The University of North Carolina System has removed graduation requirements for courses on diversity, equity, and inclusion following a memo from the system's top lawyer, Andrew Tripp, on February 5.
  • This decision aligns with President Donald Trump's January 21 executive order, which aims to eliminate DEI instruction in public schools.
  • Chancellor Kimberly Van Noort stated that students can choose to remain in or withdraw from diversity-intensive courses without penalty, ensuring their graduation is not affected.
  • Despite the suspension, all classes designated as diversity-intensive will still be offered, and students will receive general education credit for these courses.
