Harvard’s Office for Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging will be renamed Community and Campus Life, the university said in an April 28 letter addressed to community members.

The university is currently entangled in a conflict with the Trump administration after it refused requests to act against diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, with authorities cutting off funding and Harvard filing a lawsuit against the government.
