Hundreds gather to protest the removal of DEI programs at OU

Thursday, hundreds of students protested against OU’s lack of communication about Senate Bill 1 and President Donald Trump’s executive order to ban diversity, equity and inclusion programs at public institutions.

Students responded and said certain groups of people already start at a disadvantage, so they need additional resources to mitigate the gap.
