By eliminating DE&I from our entire university, you have only communicated to black women, black people, brown people, immigrants, international students, veterans, poor students, students from rural areas, students from inner cities, and people with disabilities that you do not care about us. This was an act of cowardice, and it is not something that reflects the values or the desires of the majority of our community.
It is beyond disappointing, through frankly unsurprising given the regents' statements in the last few years, to witness the dismantling of programs once championed as vital to the university's mission and values. Much of the progress relating to diversity, equity, and inclusion at this institution has been made by those belonging to marginalized groups - not by those in power or with privilege. The university has been happy to accept credit for the work done by these folks when it served their interest and aligned with prevailing sociopolitical forces. Now that it is not in the university's financial interest to uphold its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, programs and the people that have worked tirelessly to create them are being abandoned.
The university has made clear its lack of genuine commitment to its stated values. The decisions being made today do not align with the university's stated values and will not advance its mission, but instead further entrench systems of oppression.
Madison, destekleniyor: Bring Back DEI to the University of MichiganAs a U-M student who participated in the 1970 Black Action Movement, I'm disappointed in this backtracking from what was firm commitment for over 50 years.
Jeff, destekleniyor: Bring Back DEI to the University of MichiganAs a University of Michigan undergraduate and masters alum as well as an employee, I am so disturbed and disappointed by the decision to obliterate all DEI-related activity. As leaders and human beings, it's so important we maintain our integrity and continue doing work to respect and uplift people from all walks of life. This not only benefits marginalized people, it benefits all of us
Elizabeth, destekleniyor: Bring Back DEI to the University of Michigan“Censorship is Unamerican” As students of this university, we dedicate all of our resources to earning an education from this institution, yet this university is doing everything it can to silence us and our efforts to support and improve our community and fight for the greater good, all for the 1% to abide by the federal agenda that hurts all of us, but not the few that hold all of the money and power. Shame on President Ono for not protecting us and shame on the board of regents for continuously being selfish and self-fulfilling and against the needs of the population that without us, there would be no board of regents or university.
Mora, destekleniyor: Bring Back DEI to the University of MichiganI managed to be a number of “firsts” at Michigan: first graduate student to present a field in Gay and Lesbian History, as we called it at the time, first openly gay male coach to win a collegiate national championship, first coach with Gregg Hartsuff to put a Michigan rower onto the US Olympic team. All while earning a PhD in History and working at the International Institute. During a brief sojourn to EMU, I became the first openly gay man to be an NCAA Division I Head Coach in any sport.
This was all possible because UM has been a place that has not only allowed people who have never been able to do things because of parts of their identities, but actively supported them in it, recognizing that we face barriers others don’t. This wouldn’t have happened at any number of other peer institutions as easily.
What’s at stake here is not so much the programs that support diversity and inclusion, though those programs are critical. It is the institutional CULTURE that supports people as they forge new paths which honor ALL of who they are and values the things we know from our experiences.
President Ono. This is an enormous mistake you have made. I’m VERY good at building teams. My Michigan teams I coached won over a decade of national championships. They have beaten Ohio State every year for over a quarter century.
You need to stop listening to the Board of Regents with their command and control outlook. They’re not serving you well, and you’re going to go down in Michigan history as a failure. And a coward. Not a Michigan Man/Woman/Person in any respect. You won’t end up staying. You won’t be a Champion.
But if you want some advice and mentorship on how to change that, I’m better than almost anyone you have on your staff about it. Just reach out.

And one heck of a damn good, very gay coach.
Charles, destekleniyor: Bring Back DEI to the University of MichiganI pay tuition for my daughter at University of Michigan. I expect part of the education I subsidize to respect, appreciate and encourage the value of a diverse and equitable society, founded on the ability to discuss tough issues and find paths forward together. Do not silence this part of my child or any child’s education.
James, destekleniyor: Bring Back DEI to the University of MichiganI've taught at UMich for 27 years, and this is one of the few times I've been sorely disappointed. Tamping down on DEI along very specific dimensions is according with the law; shutting down the entire enterprise is cowering before the Trump administration, which will ALWAYS come back to take more.
Fred, destekleniyor: Bring Back DEI to the University of MichiganPerhaps I shouldn't be, but I'm truly shocked by the speed and completeness of UM's capitulation to the Trump administration's nasty, small-minded targeting of DEI as a concept. And by UM I mean President Ono and the Regents and their collaborators; students, faculty, and staff remain broadly committed to the pursuit of fairness and equity represented by any good-faith DEI effort. Still, it's a sad time for anyone who thought UM as an institution might stand firm for what is right.
Christopher, destekleniyor: Bring Back DEI to the University of MichiganThe University of Michigan succeeds when everyone feels welcome. The office I support succeeds when we have a diverse, plentiful group of student participants. We ignore DEI at our peril.
