Alert: Major University Covertly Rebrands DEI Office With Innocuous-Sounding Name
Story by C. Douglas Golden • 3h

When offices of diversity, equity, and inclusion become toxic, what is a major university to do?

Do away with them? Pfft. That's admitting defeat. No, just rebrand it to something that sounds perfectly innocuous. That's the ticket!

Well, it's at least the ticket for the University of Colorado, which has quietly renamed its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion department to the Office of Collaboration — all without changing anything of substance.

Steve McGuire, a fellow in campus freedom for the American Council of Trustees and Alumni, helpfully alerted the denizens of X to the shift in terminology:

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I have a few suggestions on what to rename their offices ! Most start with mental illness titles.

This report seems to not represent what really happened.

Notice that the mission of the department has been significantly changed before and after.
The article claims which has quietly renamed its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion department to the Office of Collaboration — all without changing anything of substance.
