They took out the "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion section off all of them. Like I know you could make the argument that these policies are just for show, but it just feels weird that even in higher education, where you're naturally going to have a wide selection of students from different backgrounds, are getting rid of them.

While DEI is obviously important, I haven't had a section for it in my syllabus years. A syllabus is meant for things like the required course material, the grading policy, and the schedule of topics. Students already don't read syllabi, they read it even less if it contains information not immediately pertinent to the course.
