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.

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.

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?

The idea of a research enterprise -- a university -- that is not equitable, at the very least in principle, is not one I want to invest in.

While I appreciate your main points, this one is unnecessarily and problematically dismissive of the war against an equitable research enterprise. From this narrative, what I hear is that people of color, those with disabilities, LGBTQI+ are expendable for the sake of institutions.
