NEW UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATION


** SMU’s DEI office didn’t disappear. It changed names.
------------------------------------------------------------

Think private universities are abandoning DEI? Think again.

An undercover Accuracy in Media investigation has exposed how DEI-related work is being kept alive at Southern Methodist University -- even as the university renames offices and programs.

SMU administrator Danielle Palomo told our investigator:
“We’ve had to do a lot of maneuvering in order to remain kind of hidden under a lot of things.”

Palomo said the university’s former Office of Diversity and Inclusion is now called the Office of Cultural Intelligence.
“That office still exists just under a different name.”

Renaming an office doesn’t change what it does -- and it doesn’t explain why an employee described the work as needing to remain “hidden.”


** Demand accountability from SMU’s trustees.
