A group of Black Harvard alumnae, under the Black Alumnae of Harvard Equity Initiative, has issued an unreleased petition containing 5 DEI-related demands to Harvard University. They urge the institution to prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in its hiring and admissions processes following Claudine Gay's departure. Specifically, the group requests that DEI be considered an 'essential value' in the search for a new president and calls for the creation of a task force to promote their DEI agenda. Harvard's interim president, Alan Garber, acknowledged the demands, stating they reflect the views of the Harvard Corporation.
