Why hasn't William and Mary gotten rid of its DEI yet?

No it’s not. It’s a public state university.

And yet, it’s definitely LAC adjacent. It’s a unicorn— very unique for public university.

Horrendous grammatical error. Begone, redundancy!

Explain.

Yes. This type of grammar/ writing policing/ nit picking just says you have nothing substantive to contribute.

What is the majority? My white kids are part of the minority of their very large high school. Should they be discriminated against even though they have not experienced the advantages of being in the majority in their high school experience? Should the Hispanic kids who make-up the majority be discriminated against to help the minority white population of the high school?

DEI what? Programs? Initiatives?

It's because they have integrity and aren't cowards .

That’s exactly what being against “DEI” is about. It means treating *everyone* equally and fairly, with dignity and decency. Not just certain people.

You seem very confused.

Exactly. DEI is just organizational racism.

Inclusion is racist. How so?

Because DEI as implemented has 0 to do with inclusion; it’s all about separating and judging people by race.

Spoken like someone who’s had no actual meaningful involvement in diversity and inclusion work.

It’s really not. I understand that you believe this, but it is not “LAC adjacent.”

It really is. I understand that you don't believe this, but it is "LAC adjacent."

I agree with the PP. It’s far too big to be “LAC adjacent.” Does it have liberal arts? Sure - as do most other universities.

Over and over and over again with you trolls

You don't spread your police patrols equally over the city. You send them where they are most needed. And nobody seems to be demanding that their kids book bags get searched more equally 🙄

That’s quite a word salad non sequitur.

Also, what are you talking about?

Wow. Didn't know this would strike such a cord. I was just curious, I'm not against DEI at all. I think diversity has been proven to be beneficial for institutions of all sorts and that DEI is a crucial part of ensuring diversity. I was just wondering why it is the case that other Virginia universities have gotten rid of their DEI programs while William and Mary hasn't.

You started a very trollish and argumentative way. It seemed like you were a trump troll who approves of discrimination

DP. DEI is the epitome of discrimination. Everyone should be included, regardless of their color of their skin.

They approved a resolution which includes a statement that they would work to ensure compliance with all applicable laws.

BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that the president shall continue to review guidance from
the U.S. Department of Education, the U.S. Attorney General, the Virginia Attorney
General, and other relevant federal and state agencies, and ensure full compliance with
applicable laws. The president shall report to the Executive Committee at its next
meeting on these matters.

So when white men were given preferences that was ok? How are others supposed to gson parity with white men's boot on our neck? And now you want to go back?

Racism is bad enough - now you’re advocating for reverse racism. No thanks.

Bingo. Finally, people have caught on to this madness. Enough is enough. Everyone should be considered and included without any regard to their race.
