[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DEI does not mean that less-able people get a college spot/job/etc. over more-qualified candidates. It means that institutions take an extra moment to seek and/or identify highly-able candidates from populations that aren't white and rich. Have there been institutions that got it wrong? Yes. Have there been accusations that institutions got it wrong? Yes (accusations are unproven). But that's true of any hiring, of course! How many white men got where they are because they are white and male? That's the point of DEI - looking for capability. We live in a ridiculous society that wants to believe everyone not male and white is less able and only in their position because of an imaginary DEI bogeyman. This is why so many people want to encourage DEI in our schools and workplaces - because when it's done right it means the best and most capable are where they belong. [/quote]

DEI is almost never done right, It goes from being additive to the mission to becoming the mission.
It's bad enough when you are asked how you would use DEI to enhance your classroom as a professor, it is bonkers when you are asked how you will use your role as a professor to enhance DEI

Another problem is that people have conflated DEI with affirmative action, racial preferences, even extreme racial preferences.

A lot of the reason we even have a second trump presidency is because virtue signalling idiots invited this massive blowback with the woke crap.
