This is an internal employee of Tennessee, the director of a department responsible for decisions exactly like this,

the Pride Center does not have any power to make a university wide decision like this. That's what this lady is the "director" of. They're basically a support group for the gay community. And the office of diversity has a chancellor that provides oversight to all the different social groups on campus. They, also, have no power to make a university-wide decision like that.

I know you want this to be something the University, as a whole, is pushing for because it's funny, but that's just not the case.

This isn't the Pride Center and I don't "want it to be true." And it's not unique to Tennessee (even though we're trolling them over this).

It's the Office of Diversity. These are paid employees of the University.

With the creation of the vice chancellor for diversity and inclusion position, UT has taken an important step in fulfilling its commitment to residents of Tennessee and positioning itself to be a leader on diversity and inclusive excellence.

Additionally, the office provides administrative oversight to the university-wide diversity councils and commissions, as well as several administrative offices and programs. We seek to further our campus community’s understanding and commitment to diversity and inclusion through our programming, education, and other initiatives.

I know you want to be in a position to talk down to people like you are more intelligent than them, but that's just not the case.
