yet another case of "don't comply in advance, assholes"--turns out it was both illegal and unnecessary (as well as shortsighted and immoral) to comply with EO's scrubbing DEI in higher ed. who knew!

good lord, has it been eleven months since this happened
(my employer) (i obviously do not speak for them; if i did they'd not have done what they did)

that news story was just over ONE MONTH into this administration and i am simply seething all over again. thank gods(?) that regular people have been calling bullshit bc institutional leaders (so-called) have been good for literally nothing except hastening our descent into hell
i blame each and everyone of them for RFK's ascent
@inquiline God, so many institutions were so quick to get rid of all this stuff everywhere
i'm thinking back on how it went down and it is now *extremely clear* that my administrators had backchannel whisperers with whom they were in contact before the admin even took office, who were counseling them to do this stuff--and they were not only doing it, they were probably smug about their "access" and congratulating themselves. it is so sickening!
*they refused to address the campus community for months, too. garbage
