While not exactly the same, the Florida Education Board of Governors nixed the University of Florida’s choice for President, Santa Ono, because they decreed Ono was too DEI.
This sham of a government is already crossing some of the lines that you’ve described. Is it all about money and university boards caving or they lose federal funds? Sick and wrong.
You’ve found a helpful middle ground. Regarding DEI initiatives, we have sometimes over-corrected, BUT we still need to be cognizant of biases that have created a barrier for many people. I do wonder where it will end, or what will stop this march toward thought control. If university presidents throughout the country found a way to band together in solidarity, would this be effective? Looking ahead, I worry about progressive churches being shut down because we don’t adhere to this regime’s version of “Christianity.” (Quotes intentional. I have 2 seminary degrees and can’t find anything in their rhetoric that comes close to what I learned.) We are attempting to help people who are being harmed by this regime. Our communities will suffer if we are shut down.
