Another unsuspecting subject of an activist group’s undercover videos at UNC System schools is now out of a job. This time, the group targeted NC State University’s LGBTQ Pride Center.
The group Accuracy in Media has posted videos shot at universities across North Carolina and in other states that it says shows evidence of diversity, equity and inclusion programs on campuses where such programming is restricted. The group describes itself as using “investigative journalism and citizen-led activism to expose government corruption, public policy failures, and radical activists.”
The group shared a video Thursday of the center’s assistant director explaining how the school continues to support LGBTQ+ students despite changes in policy at the system level. By Friday morning, he was no longer employed by NC State, according to the university.
“We’re still able to do the things that we want to do, have these events and programs. We have to be a little more careful,” the video shows the assistant director, Jae Edwards, saying in the undated video. “As a marginalized group, we’re used to these things, and we’re used to going around them and finding ways around.”
