Bari, I hope you will let us know if this is actually applied for, and if so, do you think it was the right administrators? Not all in college administration roles can be of the mind I think you intended this for in your announcement above. A great Idea though. Why not offer it also to all writers at the NYT's and anchors at MSNBC or CNN? Just a thought. Its all just "e" communications anyway and I doubt either group (college administrators or writers/anchors) who take it up would cannibalize from your potential paying subscribers.

Update: no one at Pitt DEI took me up on the author, or even bothered to send me a nasty reply!

I want to subscribe but I want to be sent a link only one time a week. Is that possible?

Is there an over/under on how many DEI officers will take up Bari on her offer?

I'm going with 8.

Or maybe 4.

Or maybe 1-2.

Bari, PLEASE offer this to high school and even elementary school DEI heads/reps. It’s too late once these kids get to college...

I’m a university administrator though not DEI. I’ve just purchased a paid subscription but I think this is a really humorous idea!

Beri nails it again. However, I would be shocked if any DEI administrators sign up. The Free Press is just too honest and forthright for most of the DEI crowd. As I tell my children, DEI is just racism cloaked in fancy terms. Call me old school but merit still has a place in American society.

You should follow up in two months with how many take you up on this offer. But don’t print their name or they’ll be fired.

DEI does not include diversity of thought.

How many takers so far?

Bari, Is this only for DEI admins in University, or can DEI admins from organizations obtain a free subscription? Specifically I'm thinking of a not for profit healthcare organization. Thanks.

I laughed out loud when I read this. Hysterical. LOVE to know how many takers you get, and whether or not they go to work emails or private emails. Well done!!

This is a beautiful sentiment. They may be slow on the uptake, but, after just 4000 years of Jew-Hate, the DEI office at Harvard determined that antisemitism is, in fact, a form of bigotry.

On a serious note, now that they have added antisemitism into the pantheon of unacceptable forms of hatred, we should take advantage of the DEI infrastructure to promote education about antisemitism on campus.

It is time that the people who invested in "Anti-racism" on campus begin investing in "Anti-Antisemitism," and fast.

Bari Weiss, you are something special. I first heard of you on an episode of The Dennis Prager Show. This idea of yours is great. I pray the offer will accepted, even if it is only by a single DEI administrator it will be significant.

What could be more inclusive than a DEI admin including The Free Press in his or her mix of news and opinion sources?! Great offer.

Thankfully Texas cut it! Please send to the University of Pittsburgh.
