A series of tweets from various users have sparked a debate over the value and integrity of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) departments at universities, particularly after it was revealed that Columbia's DEI chief plagiarized 20% of his 2021 dissertation. Critics argue that DEI initiatives are a scam and fraud, filled with 'stupid ppl', and have failed to protect students from discrimination, especially Jewish students. They assert that DEI departments promote division, injustice, and hate rather than inclusion. Calls for the elimination of DEI departments, defunding DEI bureaucracies, and replacing faculty and administrators who support DEI are growing. Some commentators are advocating for a complete dismissal of DEI initiatives, stating 'DEI needs to DIE' amidst concerns over their effectiveness and integrity.

Although some progress has been made against DEI on campuses, it’s only a beginning. Efforts must continue to defund DEI bureaucracies & replace faculty & administrators that support DEI, or they’ll enforce its orthodoxies even without the apparatuses. https://t.co/JM8GjPgADS
