Brown University to Develop new Diversity, Inclusion Recommendations by 2026
“The committee members will now begin their work and will together chart the right course toward engaging with Brown community members, developing recommendations and proposing a draft action plan”
The campus left thinks they’re going to eventually go back to business as usual. This would not be happening otherwise.
The Brown Daily Herald reports:
University committee to develop new diversity, inclusion recommendations by May 2026
Brown has formed a new ad hoc committee tasked with drafting recommendations for the future of diversity and inclusion at the University, President Christina Paxson P’19 P’MD’20 announced on Thursday morning.
The Ad Hoc Committee on Diversity and Inclusion at Brown, chaired by Vice President for Diversity and Inclusion Matthew Guterl, will develop a framework to “sustain the diverse and inclusive community that is key to academic excellence” and propose an action plan for its implementation over the next decade, Paxson wrote in the announcement.
The recommendations will be submitted to Paxson by May 1, 2026.
“The committee members will now begin their work and will together chart the right course toward engaging with Brown community members, developing recommendations and proposing a draft action plan,” University Spokesperson Brian Clark wrote in an email to The Herald.
The University’s current diversity and inclusion action plan, spanning from 2016 to 2025, has guided Brown’s diversity and inclusion goals for the past decade. Titled “Pathways to Diversity and Inclusion: An Action Plan for Brown University,” the plan created the Diversity and Inclusion Oversight Board, which submitted memorandums to University leadership regarding the implementation of the DIAP’s goals.
“We are grateful for their efforts, and we recognize that the board’s experience and deep insights will be eminently valuable in establishing a future vision for diversity and inclusion at Brown,” Paxson wrote in the Thursday announcement.
The board submitted its final memo in June, writing that Brown’s diversity and inclusion efforts have “allowed the University to generate evidence that merit and diversity are mutually constitutive.”

Why bother?
Just put that Korean kid, Alex Shieh, in charge of it.
He’ll tone it down to a filing cabinet in a broom closet.
Back when I was a Project Manager 25 years ago, my best shipping clerk had a BA in Early American Literature from Brown. I hired him as a favor to his dad. He did good work. I suggested he take some logistics classes at the local college. He did over time. He is the Logistics Manager at a major pharmaceutical company now.
I have to chuckle at the statement that they need to “sustain the diverse and inclusive community that is key to academic excellence.”
DEI efforts to enforce a “diverse and inclusive” community have resulted in the dumbing down of courses and forfeiting any hope of academic excellence.
A “diverse and inclusive community isn’t the key to academic excellence. The real key is to promote faculty and admit students strictly on the basis of proven academic excellence and merit. It will mean that you have more Jews and Asians than your DEI quotas would allow, but you would achieve real academic excellence.
The diverse and inclusive community that seems to universally plagiarize their “scholarly” publications?
Pull the other one, it has got a mortarboard on.
