Students, community members protest UL's closure of Office of Inclusion, other resources

[Cajunrunner]

A small group of University of Louisiana at Lafayette students and community members gathered in the rain Wednesday to speak out against the school’s rollback of diversity, equity and inclusion efforts.

They marched from the student union on campus to downtown Lafayette holding signs and chanting, hoping to call attention to the change in programming not just at UL, but at schools across Louisiana.

“Inclusivity matters,” said Jae Regan, part of the Lafayette Inclusion Task Force, which organized the event. “We want the university to be accountable. All students should feel safe.”

In a letter shared by the Lafayette Inclusion Task Force, supporters asked UL and other universities in the state to “stand against outside pressure and stand firm in protecting every person who makes education a central part of Louisiana’s future.”

Those students need to get over themselves and go back to class.
