Multiculturalism is a stain on this country. Diversity and inclusion are just as bad as equity- they’re all racism. WashU is woke and that’s why they still have DEI hospitals and blacks, Asian, and Hispanic studies departments with the radical feminists in Gender studies. |
Agreed. Strive for equality of opportunity, not outcome. |
Ikr? What the heck does wash u know about what is and it's not appropriate for higher level educational studies? Send your kid to the University of DCUM. |

Princeton is trying to ride a high horse, but even their president acknowledges that a school can’t win a direct confrontation with the Trump Administration. So, Princeton is trying to stand in a mythical middle where schools push back in theory, but when the Administration fixates on them, they cave. It’s unclear that that’s a viable strategy.
Vanderbilt and WashU not only acknowledge the current political reality but place some philosophical and operational framework around it. It’s fine for a school’s scholars to take a mix of positions, but why should the university itself align with some, but not all of those positions? Why not stand for the right of professors from a variety of perspectives to share their views? I am liberal and sometimes progressive, but one thing the Republicans have captured is that when woke becomes an ideology, it behaves similarly to other ideologies, namely it seeks to exclude other viewpoints. Universities should be about pursuing truth in all its forms. |
Equality of opportunity can drift into equal outcomes pretty easily. For example, everyone should have the opportunity to attend the same schools. What America is based on is equality of rights. Nothing more. |
Because eventually you will have to limit those scholars if they are discriminators or assaulters? There’s a reason the too radical Palestine scholars and Amy wax were both censured from their campuses. You literally cannot trust Amy wax to fairly assess the work of a black student- the woman has a firm distaste for people of color and thinks Jews are superior people. |
I don’t really get this. We already have equality of opportunity- anyone can apply to a top school and get waived if they can’t afford it. We even temporarily got rid of the barrier for needing test scores at the top, and people started kicking their feet. With equality of opportunity, we currently have a massive mess of an admissions system, our students are doing 1000 different things just to have a chance at top admissions, and when they get to college, professors find them pretty disappointing scholars. Clearly, we need some change. |
The problem is that after 50 years, they have largely achieved equality of opportunity and it did not result in the predicted equality of outcomes. So now, any disparity in outcomes is proof (not evidence, proof) of disparity in opportunities. |
I'd be careful if I were you. I used to be a liberal/progressive and I have become pretty conservative on many social issues as a result of holding the sort of opinion you espouse here. |
She also dislikes asians and unironically implies they have dual loyalties. |
Amy wax is purely detestable. Anyone who trusts institutions to have tenure with no exceptions should look at her record. |
Pockets of DEIA continue to fester at most of the T50 universities. Racism is vile and we must expose DEI for the racism it truly is. |
OK, racist. DEI will continue to exist and will come out stronger than ever after the white, christian nationalist are dethroned. |

They are cristo-fascists. |
