Dr. Thomas D. Rogers, Professor of Latin American History and member of the executive committee of the Emory chapter of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP), recently appeared on Atlanta’s 11Alive to discuss Emory’s decision to “discontinue current DEI offices and programs” on campus. That decision was made in an announcement by Interim President Leah Ward Sears at the beginning of September. Rogers relayed students’ concerns about how these changes will affect their experience at Emory and discusses the broader political context within which university administrators are operating.
