Wesley Yang has noticed corporations and institutions are just rearranging chairs on the DEI ship as it goes down. Instead of 'defending' the indefensible, they are just trying to change the names of things and hoping the public (or the Trump Administration) doesn't notice.
DEI is under assault from the Trump Administration in ways that nobody thought possible. And not one person of any intellectual standing is defending it in any way. The institutions are working to keep everyone employed by changing the names of the titles and departments but…

The utterly misbegotten three year experiment in going test-free was the ultimate FAFO moment for elite colleges. Nothing else could have enabled the rapid pullback other than it being a world historical bloodbath. https://t.co/xr406VrOXk

It's almost like judging individuals based on their intellect and achievements is arguably the most equitable approach to determining awards, promotions, and job offers.
Because companies don’t want to admit what they were doing.

Of course, there is no subpar race of people. This is why people should be judged on their accomplishments and work ethic, and not be some quota system based on skin color.
We need to get rid of the idea that it's somehow "equitable" to give someone a position they aren't qualified for. I've seen the end result of that experience

It always ends badly.
Only the academics who are losing control and progressives who hate to lose to Trump regardless of whether he's right.

The rest of America is happy to see DEI go.
It's an Article of Faith among religious devotees to the DEI creed, which, to them is self-evidently true.

This is why this nonsense has to be purged from the top down.
Their defense of it boils down to chanting a single absurd mantra: DIVERSITY IS OUR GREATEST STRENGTH.

That's a nightmare.
You can't that why the collegiate "research" tend to be people plagarizing the same garbage reports over and over again

They also aren't very smart and very lazy.
That’s because the Democrats don’t have one person of any intellectual standing.

Oh, come on ... Kamala and Sleepy Joe are some of the great thinkers of our time. Heh.
