"Engineering Scarcity Globally" hahah! That is for sure what ESG actually spells out when one puts on the _They Live_ sunglasses that reveal what the propaganda really means.

Some DEI deans will return to teaching...sigh. We all know how that will go though.

Yep. And now, embittered by the defeat, they will be all the more militant, I'm guessing.

Yep. It is the only game they got. Fight. Double down. A relentless pursuit to dominate.

Happened at Amherst College - they allowed their president to retire and return after a year sabbatical to teach…

Since DEI bureaucrats only "know" one thing, predictably that classroom will be a continuous stream of question begging "theorizing" designed to justify the existence of...wait for it...DEI everywhere.

Most were crappy at teaching so attached themselves to this grift.

Good news!

Yeah UT has been notorious for being a haven for libs and commies for a long time. Need to keep an eye on them.

No kidding. Pick up a glossy "Texas Monthly" at your next doctors visit. 😟

thanks for fighting the good fight to bring this evil to light and not stopping until the required change is achieved.

Great work Christopher! Please don't overlook shutting down DEI programs and org at Texas A&M where it has also flourished.

Great job, Chris Rufo, for all that you do. I get it, as I'm a red-pilled ex-lefty and I didn't move to Texas for nothing. I'm surprised, however, at the extent of political leftism here. Many of my conservative friends, frankly, seem a bit blind to it, as if "that can't happen here".

Yes-it is Big and filled with illegals. My area, outside of Houston, employs thousands of illegal laborers for house building and landscaping. It's shocking to me, coming from the Midwest, to see this. How could a Texas born citizen compete in these areas for jobs? They can't, there are none unless you're the business owner. And then they have this huge new housing development devoted to selling property to illegals. Which answered my question- where do these illegals sleep as they're here daily? I admit I'm a fish out of the sea. 😄

Like the Marxist destruction of our culture from within: poor work ethic, drugs, etc. A failing economy that's finance focused, not productive (as I'm hearing). But state to state it seems Texas is doing great. But I'm not sure that actually trickles down to the working/middle class. My property taxes are severe.

I'm a tenured prof in a blue state (and a former democrat), and I wholly approve.

A university(UATX?) would make waves by creating an anonymous application system. Assign a number to each applicant and strip any identifying factors. Admit based solely on qualifications.

Or is it all smoke and mirrors?

My insiders say it's a big PR effort to try to push back against the upcoming hearings in May.

They are finding all of these people jobs in the next 90 days, and what they are still saying internally is that everything will just go on as before under different names.

The victory is making them feel the heat to resort to a smoke and mirrors campaign to try and get us off their backs. Our defeat would be to declare victory and get off the backs.

Don't be a sucker. Stay on them. They are wounded, not slayed. They must be slayed. They are zombies who are hard to kill. Cunning, deceptive. Finish them off. Keep up the pressure.

The hearings in May must be well-attended and filled with passionate DEI opponents. Wealthy alumni mustn't go back to business as usual thinking the threat has passed. It hasn't.

SB 17 calls for hearings:

"The Senate Education Committee is holding a hearing in May for university system chancellors and general counsels to lay out how their institutions are ensuring that there are no DEI offices or training, no diversity statements in hiring and only merit-based employment offers with no considerations for race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin."
