[quote=Anonymous]When I first heard about it, I was skeptical, but optimistic. There could be a space for a school that really encourages all perspectives. But it turned out that it's in favor of any perspective, as long as it's conservative:
 
"On Mar. 3, Ellie Avishai hopped on a call with a senior colleague from the University of Austin in Texas. She was shocked when the colleague informed her a recent LinkedIn post of hers—an anodyne post of maybe 100 words, mostly a quotation and congratulation, which she had not given much thought to previously—had gotten her into big trouble with the university higher-ups. In her post, which dealt with diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs, she wrote that “we can have criticisms of DEI without wanting to tear down the whole concept of diversity and inclusion.”

That ran contrary to at least one funder at the university. As a result, the private post-secondary institution tore up its contract with Avishai’s smaller educational organization, the Mill Institute, severing ties with Avishai and her team the very day she got the call."
