LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — After state and federal executive orders, Indiana-based Ivy Tech is eliminating its office for diversity, equity and inclusion.
In a letter sent to students this week, Ivy Tech said it would be terminating its office of Diversity, Equity, and Belonging, effective March 12.Â
