Equity is not a virtue. It is a destructive idea that promotes mediocrity. Claudine Gay is a case in point. Her rise in the Harvard administration is due to her race and enforcement of ideology, not academic qualifications. Gay should be fired due to the multiple instances of plagiarism in her work

No community college would find her work acceptable

Bari's podcast about the University Presidents' testimony was spot on. It is shocking to me how DEI has taken over education at all levels, government, and corporate boardrooms. This takeover seems to have taken place quite quickly. I saw signs of it in a Ph.D. program I started in 2001 but it really didn't seem ubiquitous until quite recently. As a boomer who grew up admiring Martin Luther King's ideas, it is sad to find that the opposite of his precepts are now in vogue.
