In the latest university far-left insanity, Campus Reform reported that “George Washington University’s student newspaper called for the school to undermine the recent Trump-led crackdown on DEI in colleges and universities.”
DEI stands for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, but has been used as a tool for discrimination against White and Asian students.
This radical editorial called for defying federal law by saying “now more than ever, it’s crucial that GW clearly demonstrate to its community members its commitment to DEI principles, ensuring equity and inclusion remain core to its institutional identity in the face of growing political pressure and national rollbacks,” the editorial stated.
The board also criticized the school, as crazy as it sounds, for delaying its diversity summit.
The board also accused the school of complying with President Trump’s DEI crackdown, as if that were a bad thing.
In addition, the editorial board criticized the school for failing to fill a vice provost role in a timely manner.
The editorial linked this to what they called the university “retreating in the face of political pressure, whether intentional or not.”
This subversive editorial calls for “GW to guise its efforts to preserve DEI programs by rebranding them in name only, referencing other schools such as Harvard and Emerson College, which have renamed their diversity offices to avoid scrutiny.”
It goes on to state “Amid Trump’s DEI crackdown, silence can be easily interpreted as retreat or complacency,” the piece concluded.
“Transparent, consistent communication is essential to maintaining trust and demonstrating GW’s commitment to building and maintaining an inclusive and welcoming campus.”
The newspaper’s website, which published this scathing op-ed, claims its financially and editorially independent from the University.”
But admits that it “is staffed by GW students” and “receives revenue generated from any advertisements sold to the University.”
One can only hope that the Trump administration stands up to this so-called place of higher learning should they attempt to discriminate based on DEI.
