I wonder if you can get a PhD in DEI?
The false fronts and facades have been peeled away: the left is a movement of bigotry, racism and hate. Some of us saw it coming from afar.
By their testimony the presidents of Harvard, MIT and the University of Pennsylvania appear to be D.I.E. Nazis.
To see an epic drama of vanity and failed leadership that ends in catastrophe, just watch the hearing held by the House Committee on Education and the Workforce.
Summoned to account for the surging anti-Semitism on their campuses, the women presidents of Harvard, MIT, and the U of Pennsylvania delivered a masterclass in obfuscation.
When indefatigable New York representative Elise Stefanik asked them whether calling for the genocide of the Jewish people violated the codes of conduct of their respective institutions.........all three women, Ivy League school presidents responded by saying that.....”well, it’s complicated.”
I watched it. All three Presidents were lying through their teeth. They all said that anti-Semitism had no place on their campus, but then example after example proved that it did. It was definitely a case of: Who are you going to believe — me or your own common sense?
The fact that the MIT President was (supposedly) Jewish was a headscratcher. My guess is that she is a JINO who views her job as the most important thing in her life.
While they are buring bridges with a lot of alumni and donors, it probably does not matter. Many Leftists and Arabs will step in to fill the donor void. Plus the Federal subsidies will keep flowing — maybe even more so now.
The government should tax the hell out of these places. I really think college is a bad idea at this point. Engineering and medicine only. Everything else is self-study or On The Job Training. Tax them out of existence.
The biggest lie is how they went on about how free speech is sacred on their campuses, even if its “painful”. Meanwhile, for the last 15 years, they’ve canceled anyone who deviated from their official. Leftist narrative.
Excerpted from a FR thread on rampant discrimination WRT hiring white faculty:
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discriminating against job applicants based on race. The documentation of such misconduct at the University of Washington opens the door for potential lawsuits by candidates of disfavored races.
But individual lawsuits have yet to deter universities from committing civil rights violations.
Earlier this year, plaintiffs in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard detailed pervasive racial discrimination in the university admissions process, similarly in violation of the Civil Rights Act. Under Title VI, universities risk losing all federal funding. Still, even after the Supreme Court ordered universities to stop discriminating in SFFA, universities and administrators remain defiant.
The University of Washington’s investigative report exposes how pervasive racial discrimination is on American campuses. The federal and state governments must root out this illegal racial discrimination. If they refuse, then the University of Washington’s how-to manual for racial discrimination will effectively function as civil rights law.

Couldn’t agree more.
.......the self-serving women rambled on and on
about how “free speech is sacred” on their campuses.......
Tax them? The govt taxes us and gives them our money.
Engineering and medicine could be fought in trade schools too. The only purpose for college is football and basketball, because it enables POC to get into college. Oh, and frats and sororities.
It’s been nearly a century since the Ivy League offered anything unique except a pretty receipt.
Outside the academic bubble, these female college presidents, who make huge bucks, came across as stupid. Much like KJP, once knocked off their script, the floundered in deep water. In order to survive, they have to fire terrorist faculty and expel terrorist students. Failing that, they must be fired, not because they are morally bankrupt, but because they are immoral.
Just look at their faces and you can tell. How did we let it happen at the highest levels of academia?
If you’re an alumni of a major university peddling this crap, cut them off from all financial support, contributions, football tickets, school regalia, bequeaths and tell them why.
Loads wrong with higher ed, which is corrupted to the core—intellectually and otherwise.
But having hard-working and underpaid adjuncts teaching more than perfumed-prince, tenured, meat bags rolling into class is not the reason for it.
It is those receipts—and personal bonds with the future power elite—that makes the IL still so highly desired.
Canned leftism: they droned on about how free speech
is “sacred” on their campuses, even if its “painful”.
Yet, for the last 15 years, they’ve vengefully canceled
anyone who dared deviate from their leftist atrocities.
