It's been a tumultuous time for DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) efforts in higher education. Whether due to political pressure, internal dissension, or both, many prominent institutions are revamping or even eliminating their DEI offices and rethinking DEI policies that once seemed unquestionable. Amori Mikami from the University of British Columbia re-joins the show to talk about the changes, what she thinks universities ought to be doing, and what she thinks we they can do better.
