The University of Kansas is quietly reducing its diversity and inclusion efforts due to political pressures from Republican state lawmakers. The university has merged three campus resource centers, formally for serving minority students, into one new center for student engagement. KU has also shrunken their Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and has assigned its leaders with new job responsibilities. While staff and faculty have found out about the diversity changes, students have not been given any notice. Student organizations have protested the merge of the campus resource centers and fear the ceasing of other programs and resources.
