If you're "hardly one to defend DEI," then you certainly wouldn't pick an indefensible hiring scandal as your hill to stand on. The FAA explicitly and knowingly lowered their standards in a safety-critical profession, using absurd means. That's bad. www.tracingwoodgrains.com/p/the-full-s...

when i started warning in 2015 that academia was getting to partisan in its politics one response was "well, they need us too much, so what are they going to do?" well, you see what they are going to do. rome is in civil war while the barbarians are on the march shrug

this is correct. and i kept saying this over and over over that this irrational reaction was going happen from about 2015 onward when normal liberal researchers turned a blind eye to radical activists becoming the face of their institutions and underming its credibility sometimes lemmings drown

I'm gonna say the quiet part aloud. Sadly there are many in scientific, academic & healthcare ranks as well as in the leadership of professional societies who support the purge of DEI. The failure to peak out forcefully and rush to comply by some is unsurprising. www.statnews.com/2025/02/03/t...

I am appalled by the ASM's decision to remove DEI content from their website. Here is my email to the American Society for Microbiology, @ASM.org asking them to put everything back as it was. If you are an ASM member, please consider writing them.
