Today’s Briefing:
DEI INVESTIGATION: Three Princeton staff members who were hired to conduct DEI-related work across the University have resigned over the past 15 months, alleging a systemic lack of support from members of the University leadership and administration. These individuals include Jordan “JT” Turner, former Associate Director of Athletics for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion; Dr. Jim Scholl, Chair of the Transgender Health Team at University Health Services (UHS) and the Preventions Programs Manager at the Sexual Harassment/Assault Advising, Resources, and Education (SHARE) office; and Dr. Avina Ross, Associate Director of SHARE.
“Folks like myself are treated like we’re on an assembly line,” Turner said. “You hire us, you fire us and you bring someone else in, and people will just stay in their roles of leadership and get away with it.”
In a series of interviews, the three former staff members shared their experiences working with the University and their respective departments, and what eventually prompted them to resign.
