I was intrigued by Josh Moody's article "A University Rethinks DEI Work." It was succinct and provocative as it highlighted an institution grappling with creating a culture of inclusion. As a Black woman, first-generation college student with three degrees in the social sciences and humanities and over two decades of higher education administration and teaching experience, my personal and professional assessment is that the expectation for one office to address centuries of disenfranchisement, discrimination, and institutionalized racism is outdated.
