The University of Louisiana Lafayette has shut down its Office of Campus Inclusion, the university announced Friday.
The closure was done “in compliance with a federal directive,” according to an email sent to university employees.
In February, President Donald Trump’s administration threatened to revoke federal funding from campuses that use race-conscious practices in admissions, programming, training, hiring, scholarships and other aspects of student life.
ULL spokesman Eric Maron said the office’s two employees will be moved to the University’s Office of Academic Affairs
