<p>Harvard University announced on Monday that its Office of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging is getting a rebrand as the school continues its fight against the Trump administration, which has frozen billions of dollars in federal aid.</p>
<p>The office will now be called &#8220;Community and Campus Life&#8221; and will focus on &#8220;expanding cross-cultural engagement programs, supporting first-generation and low-income students, and creating more opportunities for dialogue across differences,&#8221; The Harvard Crimson <a href="https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2025/4/29/harvard-oedib-renamed/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. Harvard&#8217;s chief diversity officer position has also been renamed and will now be called the Chief Community and Campus Life Officer. Sherri A. Charleston, who holds that position, said in an email that the university would &#8220;reexamine and reshape the missions and programs of offices across the university.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump has set his sights on Harvard, recently <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-calls-harvard-an-anti-semitic-threat-to-democracy?author=Zach+Jewell&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Trump+Calls+Harvard+%E2%80%98An+Anti-Semitic%E2%80%A6Threat+To+Democracy%E2%80%99" target="_blank" rel="noopener">calling</a> the Ivy League school “Anti-Semitic,” “Far-Left,” and “a threat to Democracy.” The Trump administration froze more than $2 billion in federal funding for Harvard after the university rejected demands to dismantle its DEI programs and do more to punish antisemitism on campus. Federal agencies sent two letters to Harvard in April, urging the school to eliminate DEI programs.</p>
<p>Harvard President Alan M. Garber said earlier this month that the Trump administration does not have the authority to &#8220;dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue.&#8221; The university filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration over its funding freeze, arguing that the federal government is violating &#8220;Harvard’s constitutional rights&#8221; through a &#8220;pressure campaign.&#8221;</p>
<p>Harvard&#8217;s announcement on Monday is the first change it has made to its DEI programs, an apparent step that aligns with the Trump administration&#8217;s desires for the university, according to The Crimson. Trump has also targeted DEI offices at other Ivy League schools, and multiple universities have scrubbed mentions of DEI from their websites.</p>
<p>On Monday, Trump&#8217;s Education Department and Health and Human Services Department <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-admin-launches-probe-into-harvard-law-review-over-treatment-of-white-contributors?author=Leif+Le+Mahieu&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Trump+Admin+Launches+Probe+Into+Harvard+Law+Review+Over+Treatment+Of+White+Contributors" target="_blank" rel="noopener">launched</a> a probe into the Harvard Law Review and its treatment of white contributors. The investigation will look into allegations that the university prioritized race over merit in its law journal&#8217;s membership evaluation and article publication.</p>
