At its meeting this weekend, the Cornell Board of Trustees can continue on its current path and join the senior administration in doubling down on DEI, or it can choose another path that restores the fundamental values of equality, freedom of speech and expression, and open inquiry, and perhaps rescues the Cornell brand.

Jon Lindseth: "President Pollack and Provost Kotlikoff have allowed their headlong support for DEI policies to take root at the expense of the four essential pillars of Cornell University: 1) Open Inquiry; 2) Academic Freedom; 3) Viewpoint Diversity; and 4) Free Expression. This is an inexcusable violation of their fundamental duty to Cornell. Therefore, they should resign their positions effective immediately."

My appearance on The Daily Signal Podcast: "Conservatives have been purged from academia, as have pro-Israel professors .... So there is no internal opposition left on campuses. The faculty is approaching 100% anti-conservative and approaching 100% anti-Israel."

“The problem is not what some student put on his or her personal social media, as hateful as the statements may be, but the campus DEI culture that enables and encourages such hatred based on false oppressor-oppressed and decolonization narratives that leave Israel and Jews dehumanized."

CNBC notes not only cuts, but also scaling back of hiring: "By mid-2023, DEI-related job postings had declined 44% from the same time a year prior.... In November 2023, the last full month for which data was available, it dropped 23% year over year."

So what that Gay didn’t follow the rigid publish or perish time schedule or properly attribute her meager works? We have to recognize that her refusal to live by the expectations of what the Smithsonian and campus radicals call 'whiteness' is a revolutionary act.

"The attack happened at the Federal Correctional Institution, Tucson, a medium-security prison that has been plagued by security lapses and staffing shortages."

My appearance on Newt's World podcast: "It's a deeply anti-Western cultural problem, which is taking itself out, as has happened of course for many centuries, on the Jewish population.... The far left and the Islamists on campuses are very powerful and that is why Israel and Jews are being singled out. But people should understand that this is an anti-American culture on campuses."
