UNC Charlotte administrator fired after Accuracy in Media investigation
June 3, 2025
The University of North Carolina at Charlotte administrator who was caught on camera by Accuracy in Media investigators bragging about evading the Board of Governors’ ban on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) has been fired as a result of AIM’s investigation.
Janique Sanders, the assistant director of Leadership & Community Engagement at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, divulged to AIM’s investigators how she told her students the word of the year is “finesse.”
She told the investigators, in terms of doing DEI work, “We’ve renamed, we’ve reorganized, we’ve recalibrated, so to speak.”
She also said that, despite the Board of Governors’ ban on DEI-related work, there are still “covert” opportunities available to promote DEI.
In a statement posted on X, UNC Charlotte wrote, “The individual featured in the video had no policymaking authority, no role in compliance matters and was not authorized to speak on these issues. Following an internal review, the individual is no longer employed by UNC Charlotte.”
The school also said, “The employee’s statements were inaccurate and do not reflect the University’s actions” and that it would be conducting a review.
