(WGTD) - In a statement issued Thursday by Gateway Technical College President Dr. Ritu Raju, Gateway Technical College has officially dissolved its office of diversity, equity and inclusion. This comes after being issued guidance and deadlines by the US Dept. Of Education and Office Of Civil Rights regarding potential investigation and the loss of funding for institutions providing race-based programming.
Dr. Raju also stated that this decision was not made lightly and that we must make difficult decisions in order to ensure the continuity of key federal funding , including the availability of financial aid for our students. Gateway Technical College remains committed to our mission of serving our students and helping them on their path to success.
