LANSING, Mich. (Michigan News Source) — Two equity offices inside Michigan’s health department have been quietly renamed, trading the buzzwords of the DEI movement for broader, softer language—words like “culture,” “community,” and “leadership.”

The Office of Race, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (REDI) is now the Office of Culture, Community, Education and Leadership, according to Bridge Michigan. Additionally, the Office of Equity and Minority Health (OEMH) has been rebranded as the Michigan Office of Transformation, Engagement, and Community Health—MI-TEaCH for short.

“Over the last 37 years, the office has had many different names, but its charge has remained the same,” health department spokesperson Lynn Sutfin said, describing MI-TEaCH’s mission as reducing health gaps caused by economic, social, and geographic factors.

Notably, the state’s updated websites now bury or omit references to specific minority communities once central to the mission. Arab Americans, Asian Americans, Latinos, and African Americans are now listed on a secondary page, and Chaldeans are no longer mentioned at all.

Gone are the direct mentions of race, minorities, and diversity. In their place: language that nods at inclusion without drawing a target.
