## Caption

The fabric of Ohio State’s diversity, equity and inclusion programming has begun to unravel following Thursday’s University Senate meeting. 

Inside Drinko Hall’s Saxbe Auditorium, Ohio State President Ted Carter Jr. announced the university’s plan to discontinue the Office of Diversity and Inclusion and the Center for Belonging and Social Change effective Friday, meaning 16 related professional staff positions will be removed within 60 days, per prior Lantern reporting. The 3:30 p.m. meeting drew a full audience, with several university leaders speaking before and after Carter detailed the changes.

Carter was interrupted multiple times by the crowd of roughly 200 via laughs, groans and disgruntled murmurs, both during his address and a post-meeting Q&A session. The first audible instance of discontent came when Carter attempted to reassure the community that Ohio State’s values were still intact.
