Colleges and universities nationwide are quickly adopting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) ideologies, and the UNC System is no exception. In recent years, this has led to DEI-inspired task forces, departments, and hirings, and DEI has become embedded in all 16 of the schools’ strategic plans.

For readers who are unfamiliar with the flaws of DEI ideology, the Martin Center’s recent report on Critical Social Justice is useful reading:

[Critical Social Justice] begins with criticism or critical analysis, where activists unmask the supposed hidden realities of the world. America seems to be a place of equal opportunity or fair admissions, but through this critical lens, it is viewed as various structures of oppression built by the privileged to keep victim groups weak and unequal […] Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is the mechanism whereby CSJ is applied to institutions like universities. DEI is CSJ made more palatable using sweet-sounding civic language, but they represent the same critical analysis and remedy.

According to data shared in the same report, DEI, more than a simple way of thinking or a mere teaching material, has become a budget line item, as most UNC-System schools now have DEI-specific staff as well as departments. In total, 14 of the 16 schools have staff who specifically promote DEI, resulting in over $11 million going towards DEI staff salaries within the UNC System.

Better end race based Afirmative Action hires?

All dedicated to bureaucratic bloat and political activism, for otherwise unemployable people .

America is truly a wealthy country that we can afford such things.

Diversity in its application is intensely discriminatory, especially against populations in the majority. It effects hiring and syllabus most directly resulting in staff dominated by the DEI’s chosen minority and classroom material skewed to reflect the interests of that same
minority. Of course admissions are a primary target insuring a reduction in diversity as policies achieve full enforcement.
