Oklahoma State launched a diversity and inclusion council Wednesday amid fallout with football coach Mike Gundy’s decision to wear a T-shirt with the One America News network logo, a conservative news network that has promoted unfounded conspiracies.
Jason Kirksey, the university's Vice President for Institutional Diversity and Chief Diversity Officer, will chair the program. Housed within Oklahoma State’s Division of Institutional Diversity, the council will include students, athletes and alumni.
"We are grateful that Dr. Kirksey has agreed to lead our efforts moving forward," said Chad Weiberg, Oklahoma State's deputy athletic director, in a statement released by OSU.
