The University of Kentucky’s president says the school will disband its office promoting diversity, equity and inclusion efforts. Office President Eli Capilouto said Tuesday it’s in response to questions from policymakers. The action comes after state lawmakers debated whether to limit diversity, equity and inclusion practices at public universities. Republican supermajorities in Kentucky were unable to resolve differences on the issue before ending this year’s session. But the matter is expected to resurface when lawmakers reconvene next year. Kentucky’s announcement came on the same day that the University of Nebraska announced it, too, is dissolving its diversity, equity and inclusion office.
