I didn’t think it was possible for Stanford University to sink any lower into the woke abyss, but they have found a way. This week the Stanford Law Federalist Society invited Fifth Circuit Judge Kyle Duncan to speak. A mob of students decided to heckle him such that he could not speak.
Judge Duncan requested that an administrator come and address the situation, and hence arrived Tirien Steinbach, Stanford’s Associate Dean of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Who then took the side of the heckling students, lecturing Judge Duncan about how his rulings and views inflicted “harm” on Stanford’s students.
Here is the shocking nine-minute video.
I submit this as Exhibit One in the case for why every DEI office should be abolished at every university. It makes obvious that “inclusion” doesn’t include any non-woke view. Ed Whalen, who broke the story, comments:
In the course of her prepared remarks, Steinbach paid lip service to Stanford’s policy on free speech. But she repeatedly questioned whether the policy was sound and should be reconsidered. Worse, she used the platform she seized from him to contend, ludicrously, that he “literally denies the humanity of people.” Showing no understanding of free-speech principles, she posited that Judge Duncan had the duty to offer remarks that would be so valuable as to offset the harm that his mere presence was inflicting on the community.

If an institution has a stupid position such as that, it's degrees are worth less than the paper they are printed on. It's an institution run by morons training others to be morons.
3100.00 dollars for “personal expenses” for a 9 month school year? $10.00 per day on “personal expenses!
Hell, I don’t spend that much in a week - food and drink excluded!
BOL: As grandparents, we have sent a $100 per month check to our grandkids in college or trade school to handle those personal expenses or whatever.
The current GK complained that wasn’t enough. We and his parents told him that was tough. So, he now has a mullet as his hair style.
Tyrannical Tirien’s profile fits the profile. By the beginning of the 1970s, the addition of “affirmative action officers” began appearing in great universities. I encountered a “Dean for Black students” in 1972 at a prestigious medical school. There was a dean and then there was a “dean for Black students.” Yes, different standards for the two groups of students.
