Professionals and leaders who care about diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in organizations are facing a critical question: Is DEI dead in the U.S.?

[DallasBiff]

Oh my meritocrisy is dead at The Harvard Business Review.

It's all about leftism racism.

[Larry Lucido]

Let’s see if we can smother it forever.

[dfwgator]

It’s not dead, just going underground.

[Responsibility2nd]

Harvard is defending DIE? After just getting rid of this DIE hire?

Freaking hilarious.

[dfwgator]

It’s like Cancer, best you can do it to put it into remission.

[ClearCase_guy]

DIE! DIE! DIE!

[chajin]

Nothing is ever settled until it is settled the way the left wants it settled. In other words, short of annihilating the left (no, mods, I am NOT suggesting this), it is a perpetual battle where we must always win and make sure they always lose.

To misquote Orwell, we have always been at war with Leftmarxia.

[PubliusMM]

DEI needs to DIE.

[Carry_Okie]

Is DEI dead in the U.S.?

Absolutely not. It is in every university.

Hence, it is inevitable unless we kill that system as it is today.

Cancel their accreditations for overly politicized curricula.

[DesertRhino]

Harvard needs to be eliminated. They need to put a bullet in it. It’s an existential threat. It is just like Hitler.

Oh, wait, I guess we can only say that about Trump.

[Alas Babylon!]

DEI shouldn’t survive, because it is racist.

Treat everyone equally, according to their own merits.

That’s not perfect, but the fairest way to do things.

Everything else groups individuals according to race, sex and ethnic origins—or other arbitrary identities. People aren’t groups.

[alloysteel]

Why should DEI survive? It has no long term social benefit, and its short-term objectives are highly questionable, as the sponsors first deny freedom of speech, setting DEI as a paradigm beyond criticism, and follow this up with violence against those who try to exercise that freedom of speech.

It is a sledge hammer in the service of oafs. They can only smash, and leave no viable structure of social graces in their wake.

[Tom Tetroxide]

They will repackage it and try again.

[Lockbox]

The DEI has replaced the Yugo, there are those going down the road of DEI and will suffer the same results….

A liberal guy and a liberal gal
Hire using DEI
And they work with pride...
Until the company failed……

[FlingWingFlyer]

DEI is just a fancy way of saying RACISM.

“I know, let’s rename it ‘IED’”
