The Board of Trustees at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill has cut $2.3 million in funding from the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion program and redirected the money to campus security and police. “It’s important to consider the needs of all 30,000 students, not just the 100 or so […]
Nearly three years ago I wrote about a mandatory diversity training that took place at UNC-Chapel Hill after the conservative paper on campus got an audio recording of the event. Ms. Parle started the presentation with an ‘indigenous land recognition,’ after which the hundreds of Greek attendees were advised that they should make a habit […]

Earlier this month a Harvard Law School professor named Randall Kennedy called for the end of mandatory DEI statements, saying they made him “wince” and that they discredited the current “DEI regime.” Candidates for academic positions at Harvard should not be asked to support ideological commitments.
