We did not "cave" on DEI. The decision to reimagine DEI as something different and more effective was made in October. Our DEI department was ineffective, did not improve outcomes across the University. We spent a lot of taxpayer and tuition money and it..didn't work. That's okay!

Israeli forces have now dropped more explosives in Gaza than fell on London, Dresden, and Hamburg during the Second World War. The region’s hospitals have not been spared; most are no longer functional. Clayton Dalton writes about the devastation.

Both sentences, one "pro immigration" one against use the same logic. If we're ever to get out of this, we must insist all humans are just human. ➕
