my take is that your willingness to accept this gulf of america nonsense is an indicator of your willingness to accept much worse things coming from this administrator

Which is why the founding fathers trusted corporations about as far as they could throw their tea.

Yep. Also, if ending DEI programs in your company as soon as it's legal or generally acceptable feels like a good idea, then you never actually had a functional DEI program to begin with.

It’s like The Push on Netflix. One tiny ask leads to a slightly bigger ask leads to a slightly bigger ask until you’re going to jail for covering up a murder.

Absolutely. Disheartening to see so many universities bending the knee. Mine still has its office of Inclusive Excellence, which I hope it continues to maintain, but this is a real test of institutional integrity. Maybe if the admin renames it Office of Excellence it can slip under the radar.

Not the administration of my university thinking they've cleverly outsmarted 47 and cronies by "distributing DEI throughout the university" and closing the DEI office.

And opening up staff and faculty to be individually targeted instead of the institution.

And of course no more staff intentionally focused on this. Just vibes.
