The DEI Groupmind grows out-of-control at Alabama and Auburn
All across the country, administrators are transforming universities into institutions dedicated to political activism and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).
This report by Professor Scott Yenor concerns how this DEI transformation is coming to Alabama’s two main campuses, University of Alabama and Auburn University. The report has several sections.
The first section uncovers how DEI proponents generally pursue radical policies under cover of seemingly inviting aspirations. The actual DEI policies are grave dangers that undermine the advancement of knowledge, the diversity of ideas, meritocracy, societal and campus unity, and the achievement of the common good. I detail this frontstage/backstage DEI masquerade here.
DEI policies are based on the following assumptions:
- America harbors unconscious racism (implicit racism) against blacks.
- Equal rights, free speech, meritocracy, and the law itself reinforce a regime of white supremacy as old as the United States itself.
- Only through tearing down the regime of meritocracy, equal rights, and free speech can “underrepresented minorities” become free. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are really cover words for transforming higher education institutions into activist arms for the American progressive Left.
