Student group demands ‘racism’ inquiry following resignation of univ. DEI chief
A branch of the Canadian Federation of Students is demanding an investigation into “racism” regarding the departure of Memorial University‘s diversity, equity, and inclusion chief.
Delores Mullings has been Memorial’s “inaugural vice-provost of EDI-AR” since 2021 (Canadians use “EDI” instead of “DEI”; “AR” stands for “anti-racism”). According to The Hamilton Spectator, Mullings complained of “a lack of understanding among senior administration about what equity, diversity, inclusion and anti-racism mean” and how they “should interact” with the EDI-AR office.
Mullings said her job left her “feeling lonely,” adding that “while I’m the one in the role, it doesn’t mean that I’m the only one that needs to be talking about equity issues.”
She also bemoaned that Memorial’s new president, who took office last August, “not once reached out to [her] to arrange a meeting.”
