1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:03,063
i will now entertain a
motion to repeal and replace

2
00:00:03,129 --> 00:00:05,812
which you know we debate or
discussion the committee on

3
00:00:05,879 --> 00:00:08,743
university governance
unanimously voted to take the

4
00:00:08,810 --> 00:00:13,839
decision on scrapping d e i up
to the full board of governors

5
00:00:14,039 --> 00:00:17,699
the current policy requires a
diversity and inclusion officer

6
00:00:17,820 --> 00:00:22,233
at every unc institution
the new proposal calls for

7
00:00:22,300 --> 00:00:24,792
compliance with the
university's commitment to

8
00:00:24,859 --> 00:00:29,219
quote institutional neutrality
and non-discrimination

9
00:00:29,300 --> 00:00:31,772
and it's really upsetting
especially with all the changes

10
00:00:31,839 --> 00:00:34,310
that have happened and we are
to affirmative action

11
00:00:34,460 --> 00:00:38,203
unc chapel hill junior
camilla perez tells me she has

12
00:00:38,270 --> 00:00:41,872
benefited from employees
focused on dei

13
00:00:41,939 --> 00:00:44,482
i but i know that more and
more latinos are coming into

14
00:00:44,549 --> 00:00:48,323
unc and a lot of these dei
physicians have helped us

15
00:00:48,390 --> 00:00:49,869
specifically just because

16
00:00:50,039 --> 00:00:51,802
they know our backgrounds
they know the issues that we

17
00:00:51,869 --> 00:00:55,840
struggle with senior morgan
davies was also disappointed

18
00:00:55,979 --> 00:00:58,273
a poll that school should
be you know microcosm of the

19
00:00:58,340 --> 00:01:02,122
whole state a stay is not
she does the us and so if you

20
00:01:02,189 --> 00:01:05,819
can close a public institution
he'll have the policies

21
00:01:05,900 --> 00:01:08,322
governor roy cooper
denounced the decision

22
00:01:08,390 --> 00:01:11,673
writing quote our diversity
should be used to highlight our

23
00:01:11,739 --> 00:01:15,972
state strengths not our
political divisions former unc

24
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:20,123
system president tom ross also
criticized the vote writing

25
00:01:20,189 --> 00:01:22,962
quote the bipartisan
commission on the governance of

26
00:01:23,030 --> 00:01:27,022
public universities found that
a lack of diversity among

27
00:01:27,090 --> 00:01:30,703
university leadership and
governance sports is both a

28
00:01:30,769 --> 00:01:35,322
disservice to students across
the unc system and leads to the

29
00:01:35,390 --> 00:01:39,472
controversy and volatility that
we are seeing threaten our

30
00:01:39,540 --> 00:01:40,989
public universities
