NEW: Texas A&M University System orders all schools in system to remove diversity, equity and inclusion statements from their employment or admission practices https://t.co/CYbKoDW8Vg via @houstonchron
Good for Texas A & M. I have a feeling the only reason they did was to follow their Daddy's lead (The University of Texas). The fact that liberal UT stepped out and did this gives me some hope that the pendulum is swinging back.

Don't kid yourself DEI is a religion to academics.
ut did it because they forced by political pressure to do it.
The System Regents (political appointments) forced their hand.
Good thing either way…but important to remember that ut-Austin did not suddenly see the error of its hateful ways.
And UT donors. Changing wills, causing deans to call and make impassioned pleas, over substantial planned estate endowments. Was personally briefed on a married couple where the husband withdrew a likely 8-digit endowment and the wife withdrew a possible 9-digit endowment. Husband and I bird hunt together…..
Good move. I saw an article maybe a week ago about how companies were cutting staff or completely getting rid of DEI departments because all they did was lose money, create friction in the company or create policies that led to a loss of money.
Maybe the start of the pendulum swinging the other way.

I sure hope so. What in the world did all of those companies and organizations think was going to happen if they installed what amounts to departments focused on finding ways to influence hiring and admissions practices that clearly discriminate based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual preference, etc.?

Anyone convince Hershey or Coke to abandon DEI yet? Or more importantly, the large commercial lending institutions?

The "her/she" reference by Hershey could have been brilliant but they chose political correctness over humor.

Horns response was in the main due to "political" pressure. aTm's was driven also by Old Army's strong pushback on Sharp et al. Aggies still listen to their own.
6/ Liberal academics dominate the academy, and 3 in 4 believe diversity statements are a justifiable job requirement. 90% of conservative academics see them as political litmus tests. This divisive policy has faculty support pic.twitter.com/w6IQo8PD7G

Across 65 universities in the "Power 5" athletic conferences (ACC, Big 10, Big 12, PAC 12 & SEC), there is an average of 2.3 DEI personnel per 1,000 undergraduate students.
Stanford University is leading the way on DEI (w/ more than 11 DEI employees for every 1,000 undergrads). pic.twitter.com/XhvUygKPYS

Stanford is taking a lot of heat for being extremely overstaffed in general though.
This is why DEI commissars have no place on a college campus.
[It was a scene from Dostoevsky's political novel Demons played out in one of America's most exclusive training schools for its legal ruling class. And it is a stark warning about the potentially totalitarian future of the US. You will have heard by now about the shocking incident last week at Stanford Law School, one of the country's top three, in which Kyle Duncan, an appellate judge on the federal Fifth Circuit, was shouted down and verbally abused by woke students who did not want to let him give a talk to students of the Federalist Society, which had invited him. The law school's diversity dean, Tirien Steinbach, turned up to read a long prepared statement in which she lectured the conservative judge for his wickedness, and for causing "pain" and "harm" to Stanford students through his jurisprudence and presence on campus. You can watch the entire debacle below and you should, because you have to see it and hear it to grasp the grotesque and repulsive nature of what happened at one of America's most elite law schools.]
Stanford—where administrators allowed and even encouraged students to shout down a sitting federal judge—has more DEI personnel per capita than any other elite university. https://t.co/FUwxN7DC5L
A friend of mine, who works in a public university, sent this to me earlier this week 👇🏻
It's p. 1 of the DEI training his department is forced to take, starting w/ an exercise that asks which intersectional identities you'd save and which you'd leave to die.
A must-read from @compactmag_. ““Orthodoxy superseded all else: collegiality, professionalism, the truth.”
There is no compromise with DEI ideology and bureaucracy: it is a malignant cancer that must be abolished for our body politic to survive. https://t.co/WsWBN62A8d
DEI is essentially a hunting license for Democrats to identify and eliminate conservatives from the military, government, education, and the workplace.
You can prove me wrong with an example of a conservative heading up a DEI department.
I might believe that if it was from a different source. They clearly had an agenda to prove that is the case and I am sure worded the survey questions to get the desired result.

Yep.
Pravda: "56% of employed Soviet adults say focusing on increasing marxist efforts at work is a good thing. And 56% of communical farm workers love their jobs."

I can't keep up with all the institutes. Does the Pew Research Center skew left?
