<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The leadership board that governs policies at the University of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/north-carolina" target="_blank" rel="noopener">North Carolina</a> voted on Thursday to repeal previous diversity, equity, and inclusion policies in favor of new neutrality focused guidelines. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The vote from the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/university-of-north-carolina" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UNC</a> System Board of Governors ended a policy that forced each of the 17 schools in the system to have a DEI officer and to monitor campus diversity. New policies say that the university is committed to “equality of opportunity in education and employment.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The </span><a href="https://www.northcarolina.edu/apps/policy/doc.php?type=pdf&amp;id=147" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">new guidelines</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> say that the university is committed to free speech, academic freedom, and ensuring equality of different viewpoints and people. &#8220;</span></p>
<div class="page" title="Page 1">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
<p>The policy adds that &#8220;addressing the needs of individuals — requires that each be treated as an individual deserving of dignity and inclusion. The University shall continue to ensure that diverse persons of any background, from North Carolina and beyond, are invited, included, and treated equally.&#8221;</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Non-discrimination, institutional neutrality, free expression, and academic freedom are all mutually reinforcing concepts and values,” UNC President Peter Hans </span><a href="https://www.newsobserver.com/news/local/education/article288507395.html"><span style="font-weight: 400;">said</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Thursday, according to the News and Observer. “We are here to serve all, not just those who agree with us. When these principles are faithfully held, they allow diversity in all forms to thrive.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It’s good for college students to encounter liberal ideas, to become familiar with the best forms of progressive thought our society has to offer,” he added. “It’s good for college students to encounter conservative ideas, to appreciate traditional perspectives and hear strong right-of-center arguments.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The previous </span><a href="https://www.northcarolina.edu/apps/policy/doc.php?type=pdf&amp;id=150" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">guidelines</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> required the DEI officer to “promote and advance diversity and inclusion throughout all levels and areas of the institution” through training, outreach, education programs, and strategies. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the new guidelines section on institutional neutrality, employees of the university are prohibited from consulting or contracting on “matters of contemporary political debate or social action” in their official capacity as a university employee.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Earlier this month, the UNC-Chapel Hill board of trustees <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/unc-chapel-hill-votes-to-gut-dei-department-give-money-to-campus-police" target="_blank" rel="noopener">voted</a> to gut funding for the school’s DEI department and give the money to campus police instead.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I think that DEI in a lot of people’s minds is divisiveness, exclusion and indoctrination,” said UNC-Chapel Hill budget committee vice chairman Marty Kotis. “We need more unity and togetherness, more dialogue, more diversity of thought.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Republican-led states across the country have moved to block public universities from implementing DEI policies that value identity over merit. </span></p>
