The office's creation follows a report from BYU’s Committee on Race, Equity and Belonging that was finished in February.Worthen said the Office of Belonging will not only seek to root out racism but also to work against “prejudice of any kind, including that based on race, ethnicity, nationality, tribe, gender, age, disability, socioeconomic status, religious belief and sexual orientation.” Gender identity was not specifically mentioned by Worthen.At the same ceremony for faculty and staff that Worthen spoke at, a Church of Latter Day Saints leader, Jeff Roy Holland, discussed what he said was “friendly fire” from BYU faculty and staff over the church’s position on topics including same-sex marriage, reported TV.
