Dei is appalling.? Equity is communism. Same result is all starving.? So Stalin s communism. Inclusion excludes wrong think. So it's a mandatory religion.? So like the Spanishinquisition. Diversity means racialized and is this? racism so like Maos identity communism. This was used before to get rid of nationallism. It is doing it again. Sysyemic discrimination which partners with government and industry is fascism.? Toss it all as subversion likely invented by the CCP or Wef to dismantle the state.? Toss it all.?

As we navigate the complexities of higher education policy, it's essential to recognize the evolving perspectives shaping our future.

This has been on my mind a great deal lately. My conclusion is that any action, by any agency, does not excuse or replace our personal, or organizational, responsibility to: - Ensure we hire teachers and faculty who look like and relate to the experiences of our students. - Encourage ALL of our students to pursue careers in STEM, teaching, and their areas of passion. - Dig into the disaggregated data to see who we are succeeding with and for whom we need to try harder, seeking to close those equity gaps for all those that are impacted. - Compare ourselves to other organizations to ensure we are making adequate progress, and where we are statistically successful, sharing widely our success for others to learn from. Likewise, where we are not seeing progress, we need be humble and seek out solutions from those who might help us improve. - Ensure all of our students feel a sense of belonging and success inside the walls of our great institutions. And, when we learn who doesn't, we commit to ensuring they do and follow through. - Personally commit to helping a student, who otherwise might not be successful, find success, passing on these same values one person at a time. - Ensure all of the above applies to our staff, teachers, faculty, and administrators as well as students. In the end, no organization can change an individual, or even an organizational, commitment to doing the right thing for the right reasons for all of our students. I believe that our institutions are filled with individuals deeply committed to doing just this, and it fills me with joy. I eagerly look forward to hearing and sharing your successes as you move forward. I know I will do the same. #DEI #studentsuccess #teaching #highereducation #accreditation #nwccu

"This is the first step...toward prioritizing meaningful learning..." ???? The current administration misunderstands the word "meaningful." By eliminating initiatives that have proven* to "positively impact employee performance, with diversity enhancing creativity and innovation, and equity and inclusion improving employee morale and commitment," this action eliminates meaning as it would be applied to employees of today and tomorrow. ?? Instead, when this administration uses the word "meaningful," they are explaining a meaningful impact to cash flow (or interpret it at face value and determine that they are describing meaningful learning like the 10 commandments, single-perspective history and social studies, etc). And if their priorities favor a business concept (or educational content) over people, then people (DOE employees, Public School Administrators, teachers, students,...) will lose meaning. ?? This was inappropriate rhetoric attached to an unnecessary action. Citations: *The Impact of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Initiatives on Employee Performance (R. Mulyanti, 2024)
