Auburn closes DEI Program

Officials at Auburn University have announced plans to end its Diversity Equity and Inclusion program by August 15th.

The move follows a recent bill passed by the Alabama Legislature that prohibits public funds from being used to support D-E-I programs at public institutions.

Last month, the University of Alabama System announced the closing of its DEI offices on the campuses of UAT, UAB, and UAH.
