There is also the systemic risk of DEI compliance officers at all major universities, which permeate the university as a whole. Without aggressive protest and action, the indoctrination of our children which begins in K-12, will be the final blow to whatever remains of America’s shared identity and values based on individual freedom.

DEI must be the first target. It contributes zero to scholarship and is easier to abolish, since it's part of the administration, not the academic side.
The elimination of bureaucratic/administrative coercion coming from DEI administrators will significantly free students, and clarify the actual teaching, etc. of department heads and individual professors and others. Some may be persons of weak character, etc. who have good technical expertise to impart and perhaps good teaching skills. The hard-body ideologists and activists (mostly but not entirely overlapping groups) cannot be clearly identified except by eliminating the administrative element.
Yes. I often wondered about this - how these DEI programs can't be excised from the system since, as you point out, they are part of the administrative apparatus and not academia. Sort of how it was done at New College. These bloated programs accomplish nothing, even in the eyes of those who support them. I believe there have been surveys of university students done that indicate how useless these programs are in terms of increasing diversity, and accomplishing any of the stated goals.
One of the strategies of the DEI compliance vanguard in US universities is to inculcate the students with the idea that they can rely on mentors, counselors, advisors, coaches etc. in lieu of the students building grit strategies and mastery of subject matter.

Yes - the program includes the formation of therapeutic social networks.
We should acknowledge the great importance of social networks, generally, for everyone. The "Therapeutic" is another matter.
For an excellent and plain spoken explanation of the of the pathology of micro-aggression theory, one of the corrupt roots of the DEI tree, see https://open.substack.com/pub/freeblackthought/p/the-best-microaggression-training?r=17itk0&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post
Was an interesting reading. Thank you for recommending.
