Brown University announced an increase in efforts towards DEI or Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
According to Campus Reform, “On Dec. 4, Provost Francis Doyle and Interim Vice President for Institutional Equity and Diversity Patricia Poitevien sent a campus-wide message on “Initiatives to sustain a diverse student body.”
”In the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court decision that greatly limited any consideration of race in admission decisions, Brown remains committed to complying with the law while fostering a diverse and inclusive community as integral to our mission of academic excellence,” the two officials write.
”With a focus on recruitment, matriculation, and retention of a diverse community of students, the University has developed a set of concrete actions focused on ensuring a robust pool of highly qualified diverse students apply to Brown and, once admitted, have access to the resources they need to enroll, the message continues.”
Brown University clearly could care less that most people would prefer a merit-based, not DEI-based, society.
Among the new programs are “a new admissions programming for guidance counselors to “build understanding of Brown’s commitment to a diverse and thriving student body, ”the creation of a new alumni relations role to “engage with prospective students from underrepresented communities,” as well as increasing partnerships with alumni “affinity groups” that “cultivate relationships and support recruitment efforts among diverse communities.”
This is clearly a rejection of both the results of this election and the Supreme Court’s ruling.
According to the office’s website, DIAP, which stands for Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan, is “an ambitious action plan to ensure a more fully diverse and inclusive campus that continues to advance inclusive excellence, creates new opportunities for underrepresented scholars to teach and conduct research, and offers a campus-wide understanding of the essential roles that diversity, equity, and inclusion play in Brown’s success as a leading research university.”
In other words, the insanity continues…
