UNCW Chancellor addresses equality policy ahead of new school year

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — UNCW Chancellor Aswani Volety, is releasing details about the university’s plan to address new equality policy requirements that were enacted by the UNC board of governors in May.

The university intentionally held off making any changes until receiving guidance from the UNC system office.

After receiving that guidance over a month ago, UNCW leaders have decided to close the office of institutional diversity and inclusion, eliminate the Chief Diversity Officer position, and shift the cultural and identity centers to student affairs.

Former UNCW Chief Diversity Officer, Dr. Donyell Roseboro will return to the faculty in the Watson College of Education.
