When his department head advised him of the publish or perish mandate, he realized that he didn't know a damned thing about business...so why not write about something related to affirmative action (like how diversity is actually profitable).
It sounded good on paper (he thought) so he sold it to McKinsey and Co.
“”””If I had to guess, I would say that this wacky diversity idea was dreamt up by an affirmative action professor of business at Harvard.

Or it could have happened like this:
1. McKinsey came up with the DEI idea.
2. Gave the DEI idea to the Harvard Professor who wrote a dissertation.
3. McKinsey sells the DEI idea to the corporations based upon the Professor’s dissertation.
Reminds me California Gov. Newsom’s constant claim that raising the minimum wage to $20/hour for fast food workers would “give them a path to a good middle class life.”
The reality, of course, has been entirely different with 10,000 fast food workers laid off since the bill went into effect - and fast food closures all over the state, along with self-serve kiosks and automation being installed.
Hoover Institute:
“California Loses Nearly 10,000 Fast-Food Jobs After $20 Minimum Wage Signed Last Fall”
Only someone wholly ignorant of Economics 101 would have not have seen the result, such as Newsom for example.
He’ll bring this nation wide if he is ever (God Forbid) elected POTUS.
