RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina’s public university system will likely see existing diversity jobs cut after its governing board voted Thursday to repeal its current diversity policy. The old policy outlines various diversity-related jobs in the University of North Carolina system and the new changes remove mention of those roles, suggesting their elimination. Its outcome will impact all 17 schools in the system immediately. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Board of Trustees voted last week to reallocate $2.3 million in diversity, equity and inclusion spending to public safety initiatives in a move the UNC system president Peter Hans says violated system policy.
