On Friday, April 14 2023, Ohio Northern University law professor Scott Gerber and his students were shocked and alarmed to see campus security officers, backed up by armed local police, unceremoniously enter the classroom, remove Gerber, and escort him to the Dean’s office. There the professor with 22 years experience, a history of excellent evaluations, and courses filled to capacity was immediately barred from teaching, banished from the ONU campus, and told that if he didn’t sign a separation agreement and release of claims by April 21st, the university would commence dismissal proceedings against him. On what grounds? Insufficient “collegiality.”
The real reason, as Gerber went on to explain in a Wall Street Journal opinion piece published a few weeks later, titled “DEI Brings Kafka to My Law School,” was insufficient compliance with the school’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, to which he had objected publicly and in newspaper op-eds and television interviews.
The mission of DEI, of course, is the implementation of social justice revenge. It has metastasized throughout every institution of society: government agencies, the military, corporations, the legal and medical fields, law enforcement, the entertainment industry, literally every Human Resources department anywhere. But perhaps nowhere is it more deeply entrenched than in the field of higher education, where Critical Theory – the subversive ideology behind DEI – originated and was developed.
It is hardly news anymore that university administrations and faculties skew far left politically and are dominated by a totalitarian degree of wokeness. Lockstep conformity to political correctness is expected or persecution for your lack of “collegiality” will ensue: at best, being ostracized by one’s peers, and at worst, being exiled from a career you trained for, excelled in, and loved. “And more than anything else, I love teaching,” Gerber wrote.

Is DEI any different than the good old struggle sessions?
If the republic isn’t over yet, then this is how it will DIE.
They don't teach it but they live it.
No.
Different “demons”. It used to be “capitalists”. Now it is “whiteness”.
Guns? On campus? Someone is in big trouble.
Same thing.
The new female president Melissa Baumann had her investiture ceremony on Wednesday, April 12. This police raid on the law professor happened two days later. Insolent filth are running things.
He should have just held a class on teaching children how to use sex toys, how to transition to another sex and how to emancipate minors so that they can go to drag shows with adults then he would be golden.
The people in charge of our youth have destroyed America.
If I were teaching at ONU, I would be Prof. Gerber; the only reason I am still teaching for two colleges online is that I teach a subject area (music for nurses) that hasn’t yet been DEI infected, but it’s coming.
It is a painful thing for me to say, but the best thing that could happen to college education today would be its immediate and complete demise, an intellectual version of the collapse of Bud Light.
Exactly. The “Capitalist” in Marxism wasn’t working, and they couldn’t bring down the United States, which is their goal. So they substituted “Race” (whiteness) into it, and the inroads they are making are succeeding beyond their wildest dreams.
DEI is nothing more than a new label for communism. Applying ‘equity’ across ‘diverse’ groups to be ‘inclusive’ will only have one outcome - the LOWERING of all boats, same as communism. They wrap it up as though they’re going to achieve ‘equal outcomes’ as if this will RAISE all boats. But we know this isn’t possible and is the same promise of communism, with the same results.
Of course, if there’s one group that has its standard of living lowered, the straight white Christian male, that is fine.
This is from 6 years ago and was prophetic back then.
