Service to your country is not DEI. If anything that is earning your way.

Anything that gives you preference over another group of people is DEI.

It’s anything that means that a school would accept someone with lower grades/test scores, all else fixed.

So straight white males, especially those with connections, who are viewed as being a “good fit” for the professional environments that they aspire to, have historically been given preference over other groups of people.

Not exactly. Not in reality. My kid just went through this with college in 2024. Now the rules are COMPLETELY different. However it used to be the tie-breaker or the “special x factor” that would get you to the next stage.

Like having a cool story of how you overcame adversity or lived on a boat or whatever…

One way to look at this is the Feds and now catching up with higher education rules.

Groomed since high school. His entire life is fake.

What are the odds allegedly poor white trash teen randomly enlists in the military right after high school during a hot war and scores a dainty desk job while all his white trash peers were front line cannon fodder?

Probably similarly tall odds to land at YLS as white trash with a mediocre LSAT and a degree mill bachelor’s.

They all failed up.

Are you a Dem? I hope not bc this is snobbery of the first degree. OSU is a well regarded R1 institution.

R1 is research. What research did the hack with 3 fake names do in the degree mill poli sci dept? What was his Ohio State GPA? Was he even Summa Cum Laude?

No mention of his LSAT score, Ohio State GPA, or SAT in his bullshit memoir. Interesting.

DP. I am getting awfully confused. Is it DEI if my son, an athlete, is given an edge when applying to a college where they want him on their team (D3)? Is it also DEI to pick kids with unique hobbies or atypical life experiences?

There are some disingenuous posters on DCUM claiming “it’s all DEI” including JD getting into YLS. JD notwithstanding, it isn’t all DEI.

Unless DEI lost its way (a distinct possibility) I am under the impression that it is very focused on race and gender and doesn’t address class or economic factors divorced from race and gender.
