Michigan State University (MSU) abruptly canceled its annual Lunar New Year celebration, citing concerns over recent executive orders from President Donald Trump targeting diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.
The event, scheduled for Wednesday, was called off the day before. In an email obtained by The State News, the college's DEI director, Lauren Gaines, said the cancellation was in response to "concerns shared by members of our community regarding the current issuance of Executive Orders related to immigration and diversity, equity and inclusion."
