Fox News
Black students at the University of Michigan slammed the academic institution's diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives as a "well-meaning failure," the New York Times Magazine reported.
Confessore added that the university serves a larger population of Hispanic, Asian and first-generation students, and a "more racially diverse staff." He added that while Blacks make up 14 percent of Michigan’s population, only 5 percent of students at UM are Black. Joshua Q. Nelson is a reporter for Fox News Digital.

One student called UM’s diversity efforts "superficial" and, despite the institution’s programs, they betrayed "a general discomfort with naming Blackness explicitly."
