To them, it means to organize international holiday potluck every Thanksgiving LOL. Then they end up firing the entire DEI staff because they don't understand the principles and don't know how to implement the policies. I think if more students like yourself study this field, you can help construct value-added DEI organizations.(09-25-2024, 04:54 PM)TINASAM Wrote:(09-25-2024, 03:45 PM)mohelena02 Wrote: Which concentration did you apply to?

If this was to me, it was the Community concentration. However, if by next Fall (and I'm admitted), if they finally have the Higher Education concentration up and ready then I will be doing that one instead (hopefully).
Yes it was for you! Excellent!! Best of luck!

Hopefully long enough for me to hear back from them. This is literally the perfect PhD for me as I specialize in DEI Higher Education Admissions and Applications.
DEI may be "new" or a "craze", but the rights of inclusivity have been around my entire 55 year life. It'll continue to be important.
My local university fired their entire DEI staff and reset admissions based on test scores.
I work in the nonprofit sector, so I don't worry that this degree will be too niche.
