A group of Black psychologists are fearful of rollback to equity, diversity and inclusion initiatives within the Canadian Psychological Association following proposed changes to the strategic plan, while the CPA’s leadership insists those goals remain foundational.

"#Washington’s top #education leader says he won’t sign the U.S. Department of Education’s recent letter ordering K-12 #schools to certify they’re in compliance with federal civil rights laws and are halting any “illegal” #diversity, #equity, and #inclusion programs.
The letter, sent to school leaders across the nation late last week, threatens to withhold federal funding from schools for “any violation” of civil rights law — including #DEI programs that “advantage one race over another.” It also requires schools to sign the certification and return it to the department within 10 days."

Target saw foot traffic fall for the 8th consecutive week, extending a losing streak that began just a few days after the company announced it would end its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) program in late January.

Those texts about #trauma-#informed beeing-#autistic I found resonating:

(the third one not so much anymore, but it is the sequel to the second one).
Therein I find #educational value to bring #neurodiversity #awareness to groups wanting #diversity-#inclusion but are not aware of neurodiversity: Where there can be diversity too, and how can it look for example.
I wonder what Dr. Lakshmi Chilukuri, professor of molecular biology, provost of 6th College at #UCSD, and mother of Usha Vance thinks of the #fascism. Have any students in her lab lost their visas? Has her research been affected by the #NIH cuts?

“What does it mean to ‘belong’? What do we mean by ‘inclusion’ and for whom?” Surita Jhangiani gives us the wayfinding ponderance in her University of Technology Sydney #OEWeek2025 session on Liberating the Curriculum: Open Education for Decolonised and Internationalised Learning, urging us to actively question “whose knowledge is centred?”

En #France "4 500 institutions ont signé la #CharteDeLaDiversité, « mais, en réalité, ce n’est pour beaucoup qu’une pétition de principe. Du moins pour les #discriminations liées aux #origines. …on parle désormais du #genre, des #LGBTQ+ et des personnes #trans, mais on ne parle toujours pas des #Noirs et des #Arabes », estime #YazidSabeg, ancien commissaire à la #diversité et à l’#égalitéDesChances (2008-2012)."
Trumps Kampf gegen DEI geht nicht auf.
#Unternehmen wie #Google und #Amazon beenden ihre #DEI-Initiativen nicht, sondern benennen sie um, um politischem Druck unter der #Trump-Regierung zu entgehen.
Statt #Diversity, #Equity, #Inclusion nutzen viele jetzt neutralere Begriffe wie „#Chancengleichheit“, „#Zugehörigkeit“ oder „#inklusiveUnternehmenskultur“. (1/2)
#SCOTUS allows #Trump officials to freeze #teacher training grants over *#DEI*
A divided #SupremeCourt on Fri cleared the way for the admin to at least temporarily freeze up to $65M in #educational grants designed to address #TeacherShortages, which the govt says fund programs that promote #diversity, #equity & #inclusion [as they should, though the Trump admin’s definition of DEI is humanity].

The #NY State #Education Dept issued a defiant response to #Trump’s threats to pull federal #funding from #PublicSchools over #diversity, #equity & #inclusion programs, a remarkable departure from recent conciliatory approaches of other institutions. A day earlier, the federal govt issued a memo to education ofcls across the nation, telling them to confirm the elimination of all programs it argues *unfairly* promote #DEI.
