She says, "Nothing's changed.. It just might not be called the same thing."

A journalist then CONFRONTS her about it.

The administrator says "even if their DEI office was a person of one, that person didn't get fired. They just got moved and title changed."

"We just have had to [find] TRICKIER more niche ways to do that."

She says "when you search up 'DEI,' you're not going to find anything."

But it might be called "multicultural opportunities" or "something along those lines."




She says conservatives oppose DEI because "they want to make themselves feel good as white men in a room and don't want to have to feel uncomfortable in spaces where people are talking about diversity."


A journalist then CONFRONTS the administrator and she immediately shuts down.

"I'm sorry, I can't comment on anything."

He then reveals to her that he has the undercover footage.




The journalist continues to confront the administrator, but she refuses to comment.

"I'm sorry, I can't comment on anything."
