Diversity is Liberal racism
I suppose to end DEI organizations you first need to take them over? I’m not sure how that works when less government is less expensive and there is no way to weaponize it in the future.
Maybe VMI is interested in making men into soldiers, unlike the Pentagon that thinks an army of whiny nipple sisters can win wars. What’s happened to men like King Leonidas, Roland and Chesty Puller!?
DEI is “dead”...
If only that were true.
It sounds to me like the faculty should be dumped and replaced with educators rather than propagandists.

If diversity were a strength, Austria-Hungary would have won the First World War.
VMI, much like the beltway bureaucracy, is populated by faculty and staff that have fully bought-into DEI, so just because a mere governor is against DEI, these folks won’t relent.
They have created a “Stonewall Jackson-free” environment - and ripped him from his pedestal - the man who was VMI.
The woke superintendent mandated DEI at the urging of the previous black-faced governor.
The honor code has been dismantled as part of DEI, because “honor” is hard for some people, apparently.
They shat upon the revered New Market cadets, who honorably served, fought and died for their country, and who lie in their graves as American as apple pie, watched over by the beautiful sculpture of Moses Esekiel - which has been “reinterpreted”.
So what’s left? The merest shell of an anachronism. There is no reason for anybody to go to or aspire to go to VMI, so a lot fewer people go there, a trend I expect to continue into its inevitable oblivion.
And even at this moment there's a case before SCOTUS in which one,or more,Asians are accusing Harvard of discrimination against Asians. I suspect that that decision will be coming soon.
