DEI is vital to America. It’s only been since the 70’s we’ve seen more than a handful of people of color and women in a broad range of industries, and white men are equally as fallible as everyone else, despite their insistence on their superiority throughout history.

You provided 2 specific examples in which DEI policies failed - the first in job performance. The story was mind-blowing, that leadership used a nonsensical “system” to hire employees. THAT needs fixing, yes.

Not the need/benefit of a diverse workforce.

In the second very specific example, that’s the problem, using the single example of the academic world.

I agree there are problems that need work. There always are.

But what the current administration has done/is doing?

Reprehensible. Their goal is - rich white men in power and control of everyone and everything. As they have seen the change over the years they don’t like it. They want their exclusive club back.

We’re not giving it to them.
