Harvard University's Faculty of Arts and Sciences has eliminated DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) hiring practices, a move that some see as a significant policy change. This decision follows similar actions by other institutions, such as MIT, which recently banned DEI statements. Business leaders are also distancing themselves from DEI initiatives, and mentions of DEI on earnings calls have decreased. Laurentian University has adopted a neutrality policy, and Stanford University's faculty has approved language similar to the University of Chicago's 'Chicago Statement' and Kalven principles on institutional neutrality. These changes reflect a broader shift in academia and business towards reevaluating DEI policies.
Last month, I noted that MIT had banned DEI statements and hoped others might follow. Now the Harvard Faulty of Arts and Sciences has also eliminated DEI statements, which have been required since 2019. Some in the academy are realizing that loyalty oaths is going too far. https://t.co/IGlwBxpS8y
Looks like @Harvard wasn't the only school making major free speech policy moves last week. @Stanford's faculty on Thursday approved language akin to UChicago's gold-standard "Chicago Statement" and Kalven principles on institutional neutrality. https://t.co/xMSQEIvqFD
This isn’t going to revolutionize Harvard’s culture, but it’s a good policy change. And don’t discount the impact that changes at Harvard and MIT will have on the rest of academia. This is an important victory. https://t.co/qs22ZStgWg

DEI is when you give people who aren't qualified opportunities they don't deserve and then silence anyone who notices.
DEI is doing the opposite of what the left claims it does. It's time to ditch DEI, especially in our military.
