National Assoc. of Scholars Releases Plan to Dismantle the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Regime in Higher Ed
“This training imposes on faculty members and staff indoctrination on matters of personal belief.”
These policies are a way for the left to continue their political dominance on college campuses. Nothing more.

Ban diversity training and defund woke colleges, academic group urges
The National Association of Scholars and its president, Peter Wood, released a plan for dismantling the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion “regime” on campus.
“Repelling the DEI Assault on Higher Education,” a statement paper released on June 13, gives an overview of the problem on college campuses and provides solutions on how to fight it.
Legislators should start with “independent institutional audits aimed at discovering how deeply and how firmly DEI has been embedded in a college or university.” This will allow them to know how bad the situation is.
After the audits, legislators have several more options, Wood (pictured) wrote.
One option includes a ban on “mandatory DEI training.”
Wood wrote in the statement paper why he supports this:
This training imposes on faculty members and staff indoctrination on matters of personal belief. Often it [is] in violation of the conscience of individuals who must submit to falsehoods about their personal identities as well as misrepresentations of history and society. Seldom does such training bear in any constructive way on professional competence or job responsibilities that are appropriately part of the individual’s employment.
Legislators should also ban “all forms of DEI evaluation.”
Other steps include more transparency and “vigilance” over how a woke agenda is embedded in universities.
Finally, legislators should “[t]erminate funding to institutions that refuse to mend their ways.”

The stupefaction is not that this is happening, but then it took so long.
That was pretty much my thought, too. The time for this fight to start would have been about 50 years ago. Today, it isn’t even an uphill slog. More like up a sheer cliff, with someone at the top throwing rocks down at you.
You have a way with words.
I think we’re better off than 5 years ago on this. They’ve been forced into the open. It slid for many years under the surface, and the reason it is publicly known now is that it hit resistance already.
Used to be, it was shameful to push back against any of this stuff. Now many will hate you for it, but it’s better to be hated than despised.
Finally!! Some common sense to stop the rapidly spreading DIE mental disease.
The last thing universities need is another layer of useless bureaucrats trying to be relevant by making everyone’s life a shambles.
The bureaucrats exist because there is public money via loans and grants that supports them. Cut that money and the problem will solve itself quicker.
That would be a threat to “our democracy”!
Terminate the funding as a first step. Money has a way to clarify the thinking. Also, no funding for made up courses that have “Studies” or other nonsense words in them and that includes the faculty that teach them. Also pull all funding from diversity/equity/esg administrators and close those wastes of money.
