About 20 students from the Black Student Union marched on campus Friday to demand that their support staff return to their full-time positions. UNCW hasn’t yet put out its official report on how it removed DEI programs from the campus — that’s due to the state on September 1. But the University has announced significant staff reductions to a host of campus support centers for Black, Asian, Hispanic, and LGTBQ students. Protesters and critics of UNCW's recent actions have claimed that other state schools — like NC State and UNC-Chapel Hill — found ways to comply with the state requirements to remove DEI while still keeping crucial services for minority and marginalized student groups.
