Peter Wood: Will DEI Madness Return to the University of Florida?

A DEI commissar is their new president.

So:  probably.

That's my prediction anyway.

Why the BoT would hire such a person is beyond me. They've all been installed by Republicans.

The left is not going to release its grip on academia easily.

UBC and Michigan may not be the absolutely worst pedigree an administrator might have with respect to DEI...I mean...I guess it could be Smith, Berkeley, Bryn Mawr and Portland State...but, realistically, UBC+UM is about as bad as it gets.

The academic left is just waiting and hoping for a Democrat win in '28. At that point, unless guardrails have been established, universities will quickly move back to the left. Or rather: back to the farther left. Indoctrination is not just a convenient tool for making more leftists, it's their epistemic ideal: leftist dogma transmitted straight to students as if it were fact. They're not going to give that sort of thing up easily.

Says me, anyway.
