Professor Don Kurtz, head of the university’s sociology department, told an undercover reporter with Accuracy in Media that he still teaches DEI – diversity, equity and inclusion – and said the department even offers a course titled “Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Social Practice.”
Critics argue DEI programs promote discrimination under the guise of combating it, but Kurtz defended the curriculum as necessary for helping students understand people with different backgrounds and perspectives.
“In particular with something like working with difference, I don’t know how you can work with other people and not have an understanding of other positions,” Kurtz told the reporter in November – in a video published late last week.
