The Demise of DEI: University of Alberta and Meta's Shift Away from Diversity Initiatives

National Post

The writing is on the wall: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives are falling out of favour. The University of Alberta and Meta, the world's largest social network, have recently made moves to decouple from DEI programs. This shift has significant implications for social justice and equality. As companies and institutions rethink their approach to diversity and inclusion, it remains to be seen what the future holds for these initiatives. With the rise of alternative approaches to social justice, such as equal opportunities and social responsibility, the death of DEI may be a sign of a larger societal change. Key issues include campus diversity, corporate social responsibility, and digital equity.
