Amid US federal pressure, Harvard replaces DEI offices with ‘community and culture’

Harvard University has restructured or closed DEI offices across at least six graduate schools, rebranding them under new titles such as “community and belonging” or “academic culture and community.” These changes follow federal pressure from President Trump’s administration and ongoing legal disputes involving Harvard’s funding and tax status. While some schools have not yet acted, the overhaul reflects a major shift in Harvard’s diversity strategy, raising questions about the future of DEI efforts in US higher education.
