Stanford University Now Employs 177 DEI Staffers
“Given Stanford’s current trajectory, DEI will likely keep growing. At each step, it will degrade the quality of scholarship and academic rigor”
Some schools are defying public opinion on DEI policies and are even doubling down.

Stanford now has 177 DEI employees, research finds
Stanford University now employs at least 177 people — a mix of scholars and staffers — dedicated to advancing diversity, equity and inclusion, a tally that does not even include employees working in the elite institution’s Title IX office.
The latest tally represents an increase of nearly 100 employees in the span of three years, as research by the Heritage Foundation put the number of Stanford DEI staffers at 80 in 2021.
The list of 177 employees was compiled by an anonymous researcher and first reported on by conservative education activist Christopher Rufo, who provided the data to The College Fix upon request.
“Given Stanford’s current trajectory, DEI will likely keep growing. At each step, it will degrade the quality of scholarship and academic rigor,” Rufo wrote in City Journal in late April.
“The question is whether dissenters—professors, students, and alumni who reject the ideological capture of the university—will have enough power to dislodge more than 100 full-time bureaucrats,” Rufo wrote.
“Stanford’s new interim president, Richard Saller, was hired in part to moderate ideological influence on campus. But according to sources familiar with Saller in his previous role as dean of the School of Humanities and Sciences, he probably lacks the strength to push back against DEI.”
Stanford’s media relations department did not respond to a request from The College Fix seeking comment. Stanford’s website states the university “is committed to providing a safe living and learning environment, in which every person is valued, and free speech and free expression and debate are encouraged within a culture of inclusion and mutual respect.”
The DEI research lists the name and title of each Stanford DEI employee, including 10 different university-level administrators, such as vice provosts, vice presidents, directors and managers, and another six DEI officials in the admissions office.

of course and they are not alone
the msm will feed the masses that dei is being shut out now;;;;pure bs
its growing stronger
and lefty is taking over small towns and building up
they already run the big blue cities
Is this the way your tuition should be spent, students?
At what cost? And I mean monetarily as well as the destructive cost to our society.
Truly awful.
177, huh? The sheer size of the DEI payroll is part of what shows you what a scam it is. It’s not really about any of the words that the acronym refers to. It’s about making sure that all the little fellow travelers are well paid.
In 10 years, the number will double.
DEI/CRT is such a fraud.
Students can go elsewhere, and those five DEI staffers in admissions are there to keep them out anyway. I do feel sorry for donors in the past who gave to what they thought was a serious university.
It really is a “junior university”.
