No doubt the way it is rolling out is intended to completely hamstring us and force us into horrible decisions. But if we're enacting this kind of narrative, the other side has already won. Sacrifices have already been identified.

The question is how can move forward in solidarity?

I’m not sure where you’re reading that into my message—is it that I believe this is more than just an attack on DEI?

FWIW this feels uncharitable after a day of trying to convince my administration that caving on our diversity efforts was acquiescing to a movement to re-segregate the university.

I truly appreciate your efforts. The intention is not to be uncharitable. That middle paragraph -- perhaps just in wording -- seems to articulate unspoken sentiments from colleagues and university administrators.

This is certainly more than an attack on what this administration refers to as "DEI". And I think we (collectively) have to be worried about the construction of our narrative.
