“Do things in an appropriate and legal way, but also … keep doing the core work in keeping with Princeton’s values.”
— Michele Minter, the University’s vice provost for institutional equity and diversity
Interesting thing to worry about. Why would the "University's values" be running into some conflicts with the law?
Would DEI be just another way for the University to be racist, and thereby skirting the edges of civil rights law? Certainly numerous articles have recently suggested that DEI is basically nice words for racism. Could that be a possibility?
Seeing as Princeton, and the affirmative action it just recently strongly advocated for, was just found to be racist and flat-out violating (not skirting) civil rights laws against racial discrimination, wouldn’t the University be a bit more careful about violating civil rights law yet again?
Seeing as they just got the law wrong, does it seem bold to go down almost exactly the same road with almost exactly the same lame justifications of implementing racial discrimination and then erroneously calling that discrimination "University values" and thinking that makes it OK under the law?
The University's commitment to feeling morally superior to others doesn’t in reality actually make it superior. Just look at the accompanying picture to see with your very own eyes what "diversity" means in reality when it is touted as a "University value". Just look at what they actually do. Pictures don’t lie.
