Party of small government micromanaging academic instititutions. How droll 🙄
I'm sure they were all "people of color" and 99% female (or "identifies" as female), so there could be a federal case to be made here.

Everything
Well Iowa should be letting several individuals go in DCI, DPS and possibly Breanna Bird. Going to be very interesting who gave the legal opinion it was ok to use the geofence. There is a certain somebody that I think would have been stupid enough to give that advice but that is pure speculation at this point.
Bookmark this thread. Who will take me on a $1000 bet that in 10 years they will have dropped in the rankings?
Yeah, I mean afterall how did all these universities make it all these years without DEI? 😳
At least diversity, equity, and inclusion.
What if I don't want to be "included" with everybody? Freedom of association is a constitutional right.
That’s like saying a car without seat belts and power steering would sell just as well today because they didn’t have them for years.
Professors will care. Professors drive everything at a university. You lose the good ones and you fall hard.
You can't be a "good" professor without being a complete liberal goon?
oh they are gonna drop precipitously for sure and much sooner than 10 years. but that’s a given coz it is well understood that that dei is significantly weighted for ranking purposes.

Non-Christian, white, males are scary.
Good thing the 21st century demographic trends support the status quo.

They’re already in a tailspin. It’ll be just like New College. They ran off most of their Academy members in less than two years.
It’s stupid to get rid of DEI at a university when so much grant money is tied to diversity programs.
I get not liking it, but to fight it by giving free money to other schools? Dumb.
Nobody wants to be included with you Trad.
And DEI doesn’t force associations on anybody, but you knew that.
Nothing wrong with hiring individuals based on merit and qualifications, regardless of skin color or gender.
Exactly. That’s what DEI programs help ensure happens.
Another thread for Northern to stroke it in as he celebrates people more successful in life than him losing their jobs. It’s just terrible to go through life underemployed and balled up in fear over ideas.
It beats being bitter, under employed, and living in an efficiency apartment by myself. To those people. Not you. You seem super successful
You don't think some people can go overboard on what they are offended/triggered about?
This country won’t be here in 10 years.
It's laughable that you think people were solely being hired on merit and qualifications before DEI departments were introduced.
I'm sorry you had to endure that before shiftwork. You should be thankful that shiftwork has lifted you up somewhat.
Common Florida W. Anyone not concerned about DEI does not realize how far it has dropped the standards of higher education. Some of the content coming out of once renowned institutions is absolutely embarrassing.
A lot of Claudine Gay types were let go today. Nothing lost.

The only thing that has dropped the standards at Florida universities is accepting the Classic Learning Test as a substitute for the SAT and ACT. Truly ridiculous.
Florida system accepts controversial Classic Learning Test
The State University System of Florida’s Board of Governors voted to accept the SAT alternative in state Republicans’ latest rebuke of academic norms.
I’m not sure why that would be the case, but I’m not an expert in hiring University Professors.
Far be it from me to defend ANYTHING about uf but the local 11PM news just said 13 people would lose their current positions and likely would just be reassigned within the University.
The school is flush with cash and the Professors are well compensated at a Top 20 Public. The Legislature still has a power bloc of uf Alumni who will make sure the school is well funded and overall they are successful and conservative.
I guess we shall see.
Other universities in other states will poach the good faculty. The ones who want to come to a school with this kind of turmoil will not be the best and brightest
