"Elite universities are moving away from the ideological litmus tests that have come to dominate campus."
Cancelling DEI statements is no more than cover for the more extreme DEI policies that universities strictly follow, such as preferred admissions, hiring, promotions, and funding for members of "victims" categories (females, BIPOC, LGBTQ2S++, Muslims, disabled) and systemic rejection of members of alleged "oppressor" categories (whites, males, Jews, in some cases Asians ["white adjacent"], Christians, heterosexuals, able), as well as racially segregated living, eating, and recreational spaces and ceremonies, such as graduations. The systematic coddling of Jew-hatred organizations and occupations and cancellation of consequences for overt bigotry, harassment, and violence is another clear result of DEI indulgence for crimes by "victims." The "oppressors" are "getting what they deserve." The vast bureaucracy of DEI political commissars devote themselves and their institutional power to enforcing DEI ideals, especially the benefitting of members of "victims" categories and the exclusion or punishment of members of "oppressor" categories. Most of our universities are thoroughly rotten, and only reform imposed by state legislatures has a chance of cleaning them up. Even private universities receive much of their funding from taxpayer dollars allocated by government, and that too could be a serious pressure point. If anyone cared to apply the constitution and civil rights laws to universities, that as well might help cleaning house.
