Harvard is renewing his office of diversity, equity and inclusion in a movement that seemed to access the Trump administration, even when the university has sued the administration and accused it that Ilawfilly interfere with the affairs of the university.
An email to the Harvard community announced Monday that the office had changed the name of the community office and the life of the campus.
The decision follows similar reorganizations throughout the country by universities, which seemed to be aimed at placing conservative critics who have attacked diversity as leftist indoctrination factories.
Harvard’s announcement stood out, he thought, because there was only a few hours after the university lawyers and Trump administration held their first conference in a lawsuit in which Harvard the batteries the administration of invasive freedoms recognized the courts.
The Trump administration also opened another front in fight with the University on Monday, accusing Harvard Law Review, an independent magazine led by students or racial discrimination in the membership of the magazine and the selection of articles.
In a press release that announces that the review of the law was under investigation, Craig Trainor, the assistant secretary of civil rights of the Department of Education, said that the Journal “seems to choose winners and losers based on the race, using a botin system in which the race of the legal scholar is so, if not more, important than the merit of the presentation.”
Responding to the announcement, the Harvard Law Faculty emphasized its commitment to ensure that the programs supervise with the law, but pointed out that the magazine is independent legal. A similar claim against the review of Harvard’s law was dismissed in a federal court in 2019.
In announcing that Harvard’s diversity office, being renewed, Sherri Ann Charleston, formerly director of diversity, said the university should bring together people based on their background and perspectives and “not the great damps demographies.”
The title of Dr. Charleston has changed to Chief of Community of Community and Campus.
The Trump administration included Dei’s efforts in a long list of demands that sent Harvard two weeks ago, that the university would have to meet to continue receiving federal funds. Among other requirements, the Administration ordered Harvard to designate an external supervisor to monitor students, teachers and staff for the “diversity of views”, to prohibit international students hostile to “US values” and eliminate the activist faculty.
The demand list was sent by mistake, according to the family of two people with the matter, but the White House has continued to maintain the requirements.
Harvard responded to the demands by submitting the lawsuit in a federal court.
“No government, regardless of which party, should dictate which private universities can teach, who admit and hire, and what areas of study and research can”, Harvard president Alan M. Garber, Wrive, in a statement to the University.
In retaliation, the Administration has frozen more than $ 2.2 billion in subsidies and university contracts.
