Purdue University is ending its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, joining a growing list of institutions to do away with such initiatives.

In a May 30 letter obtained by The Epoch Times, Purdue Provost Patrick Wolfe told faculty and staff that the university will begin “sunsetting historical DEI activities and initiatives.”
