.Isn’t this just a recent change? The other admits are from prior years.

• Potential departmental changes tend not to be sudden. External events might have presented an opportunity worth grabbing, but the statement didn't derive from a sudden "wokeness." Nor is this all that typical for an English department. It's just not typical for a UChicago academic department, is all.

It will be interesting to see whether other higher education institutions in the US follow suit. Really not an if, just a when.
