(ROCHESTER, MINN) – Rochester-based Mayo Clinic is changing the name of its DEI office.
It will now be known as the Office of Belonging. Under that change, staff with titles related to diversity, equality, and inclusion will now be branded Belonging employees. Mayo is also restructuring its websites to reflect the new language.
The changes come as President Trump continues to target DEI programs at academic and medical institutions that receive federal funding. The president says the programs violate federal civil rights law, which prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and national origin.
