The recent undercover investigation has exposed a deeply entrenched and deliberate campaign of deception within Utah’s public university system. In a stunning revelation, administrators at the University of Utah and Utah Tech University were caught on video openly admitting that their institutions have engaged in a systematic effort to circumvent state law and a landmark executive order from President Donald Trump. Rather than dismantling their controversial Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) apparatus as required, these officials boast of simply rebranding and reorganizing these programs, treating the law as a mere public relations obstacle to be navigated through semantic trickery.
This calculated subversion is captured in the words of the officials themselves. At Utah Tech University, Student Resource Center director Drusilla Bottoms was recorded explaining the scheme with alarming candor. She revealed, “What they did is they dissolved our Center for Inclusion and Belonging, but we just kind of reorganized it. We didn’t really get rid of anything.” Even more telling was her admission that the university found a way to continue its operations by shifting them under an academic label, stating, “Its under academic. It’s not under services at all. It’s all academic… it has nothing to do with student services because they can function on the academic side without any restrictions because it’s under the education umbrella.” This is a clear and calculated effort to evade the spirit and the letter of the law.
Similarly, at the University of Utah, education coordinator Lucas Alvarez confirmed the deceptive environment, telling an undercover investigator, “I mean, like, the programs that we’re doing, I think technically we’re still allowed to do them but they have to be marketed a certain way.” This culture of obfuscation, where the only thing that changes is the “marketing,” demonstrates a flagrant disregard for the will of the people as expressed through their elected representatives. The subsequent damage control from the University of Utah, attempting to dismiss Alvarez as “not a spokesperson,” rings hollow, as it does nothing to address the systemic culture of non-compliance his comments expose.
This institutional intransigence highlights the critical necessity of President Donald Trump’s decisive leadership. His January 2025 executive order correctly identified these DEI programs for what they are: entities that “not only violate the text and spirit of our longstanding Federal civil-rights laws, they also undermine our national unity, as they deny, discredit, and undermine the traditional American values of hard work, excellence, and individual achievement in favor of an unlawful, corrosive, and pernicious identity-based spoils system.” The undercover videos provide irrefutable proof that the President’s assessment was precisely correct, and that the education establishment is actively working against his agenda to restore fairness and unity.
.@adamguillette confronted Alvarez with hidden-camera footage of him admitting DEI just needs to be “marketed a certain way,” not removed. He refused to comment. When we asked how lawmakers should feel about him ignoring the law, he again said, “no comment.” pic.twitter.com/txseI0fN5s

The liberal media, which often functions as a public relations arm for the radical left’s agenda within academia, will likely ignore or downplay these revelations. They refuse to hold these institutions accountable for their blatant disregard for the law and their attempts to deceive the American public.

As Michael Chamberlain, director of Protect the Public’s Trust, rightly noted, “The fact that this malevolent behavior is occurring in Utah of all places just shows how entrenched these discriminatory policies are within the education system… It doesn’t seem to matter what actions, laws, or decisions come from state and federal lawmakers, governors, the President, the courts, even the Supreme Court; education leadership appears utterly intransigent and unwilling to reassess. Instead, they choose to try to hide what they are doing from the public.”
