Salem College eliminates director of diversity and inclusiveness position

Salem College has eliminated the position for the director of diversity and inclusiveness.

The move comes in the aftermath of protests by some students who complained that the college fostered a culture of racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and elitism.
