This entire episode was just a testament to how the Left Identity Politics and DEI stuff works.  Harvard tried so hard to re-define Gay's stealing of other's work to get where she was at.  Then of course we get the racism angle, when if you really look at it, it was Gay, and Harvard that was being racist.  If I were a Harvard student, or alum, I would be disgusted.

Ron DeSantis Nukes DEI at University of Florida, Staffers Fired and Department Shuttered

 

In one of the bigger victories of Ron DeSantis' governorship, "diversity, equity, and inclusion" initiatives are officially dead at the University of Florida.

 

Senate Bill 266, which was signed into law by DeSantis in 2023, has gone into effect and forced the move.  The University of Florida subsequently sent out a memo closing its DEI department and ending all contracts with DEI vendors.  More importantly, all staffers who were employed in DEI positions have been fired.  [...]
