    One positive aspect of college is that you are required to take courses outside your major

    I consider that a negative.

      https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2025/4/15/trump-demands-analysis/

      Trump ordered Harvard to launch a third-party audit for “viewpoint diversity” among affiliates — and demanded that the University reshape the composition of its faculty and student body if the audits found Harvard failed to meet the administration’s standards.

      The letter explained that if the Trump administration found Harvard lacked viewpoint diversity, the University would be required to onboard “a critical mass” of faculty or students to improve the ideological diversity on campus.

      Your reaching for shit and false equivalencies knows no bounds.

      “Viewpoint diversity” has no correlation to DEI. It simply mandates fairness in viewpoints, not hiring, but unfortunately the paradox is that the only way to accomplish that is by hiring.

      One positive aspect of college is that you are required to take courses outside your major, making you a “well rounded” individual once you graduate.

      How is the idea of a well rounded individual accomplished when 95 +% of faculty and administrators are flaming liberals who are indoctrinating our young into America hating democrat voting lefties?

      I believe it was prior to 1960 when colleges employed an even 50-50 left/right faculty.

      I give Trump a lot of credit for trying to restore fairness in exposing our young to all viewpoints and eradicating brainwashing.

      Ignoring the fact that most of you MAGA morons have no idea how modern college works outside of the scare tactics you hear on Fox ...

      - Does this mandate hiring and enrollment? - Yes

      - Is the viewpoint diversity mentioned conservatism? - Yes

      - So is it providing an avenue for conservatives to be hired or admitted not based on a meritocracy but based on their political views? - Yes

      That sounds like everything you think DEI is...

          no, it has nothing to do with dei. Neither do your insults and slurs have anything to do with dei.

               dei is discrimination based on your gender, race and perverted politics. It is just another nice headline with the ulterior motive to engage in discriminatory hiring, perverts teaching perversion to children in schools, and promotions all over our gov based on leftwing perversion.

              Proving that, why isn't your "dei" protecting and aggressively including Jewish students, eh? Why isn't you "dei" protecting the rights of Jewish and Republican students? including THEM ?

             It's because dei is a corrupt tool to undermine American mores and integrity - in every corner of the fabric of our wonderful America.

             Hiring a gay person should not be an issue. Hiring people should not be knowing if the persons are gay or not. If people are trans on their own time, it's a free country.

             But you lefties don't get to demand gays and trans are hired because they are gays and trans.

             And you do not get to perversion teaching kids in schools.

          dei is just a political weapon, like using the law to screw over those whose politics are opposite yours.

             Shove that into your twisted beak, woodpecker.

                Well part of the pitch is to become well rounded. Or at least more well rounded. I think I needed 26 credits of humanities and social sciences to get my engineering degree

                      Are you just not able to comprehend the connection or are you looking for the wording to literally be "this is DEI for conservatives" in the order? 

                      What does the Trump admin mean by viewpoint diversity? Can we agree they mean conservatives?

                      Or are we doing the thing again where you redefine words and reject the basics building blocks of reality?

                        What does the Trump admin mean by viewpoint diversity? Can we agree they mean conservatives?

                        Or are we doing the thing again where you redefine words and reject the basics building blocks of reality?

                        lol

                        A liberal finger wagging about redefining words.

                        Staffing is ultimately based on needs of the students. If you want to liken mandating a school to provide staffing that ensures a student becomes well rounded rather than indoctrinated in order to receive funding as “conservative dei” knock yourself out, cuz that’s actually a good thing.

                         What you are unwittingly doing by calling it “dei for Conservatives” is giving DEI the bad name it deserves.

                          I don't care whether you think it is good or not (which, fyi, you calling it good gives DEI a good name, at least how you all interpret it... I'm very aware of the point I'm making). 

                          It's mandating the hiring of conservatives and the admittance of conservative students. Do you disagree with that?

                            I heard about this on the radio and just read the article in the OP from Harvard’s paper. This is a weird fight for Trump to pick. 

                            Ever since l’ve been alive universities tend to skew liberal, and there’s something to be said about picking your battles and maybe this isn’t the best battle to pick? The article makes it sound like squashing pro-Palestinian stuff is a big motivator for Trump, so l’m guessing some really powerful Jews have been in touch with him. 

                            It seems evident to me that Trump is focusing on Harvard because things he didn’t like happened there and it’s Harvard, which is arguably the top of the American University food chain, so if he can get them to budge it may cause a ripple effect. 

                            I get the approach but l’m not seeing the benefit. At the end of the day we need opposing view points. It’s actually healthy to hear and understand them.

                            And Harvard already has conservatives. They have a young republicans club (they approve Trump’s actions) and other conservative influences, but it’s safe to say they’re in the minority. 

                            Harvard became Harvard for a reason by doing whatever it is for however long. You can’t even say the word “Hahhrvard” without holding your pinkie in the air like a douchebag.

                            If Trump is looking to grow the conservative base, focus on the campaign promises that benefit regular folks. What’s happening with the “no tax on tips” reform? THAT’s the kinda thing that will grow the conservative base.

                              Harvard has a $53B+ endowment.. Why are they receiving federal tax dollars? THAT resonates with Trump's base. It should resonate with every American tax payer. A large percentage of that huge endowment comes from offshore money.. A significant percentage of Harvard's student populace is, take a guess..

                              When one talks about the American educational system being more of a far left indoctrination system, Harvard would be 1A on that list..

                                - most of Trump's base also doesn't understand why research exists or better their lives

                                - most of Trump's base doesn't understand that taxes fund public services they use

                                - does higher education indoctrinate folks to liberalism or are more educated people with more exposure to diversity more likely to hold liberal ideals?

                                - if universities are losing tax exempt status then I image churches and other religious institutions are next, right?

                                  I imagine Harvard gets federal tax dollars because that’s a thing we invest in here in America, we want the best and brightest. 

                                  I’m not aware of Harvard’s student populace, but if you are telling me that a significant portion of them are foreign born, then that’s great. We want the best and brightest from other nations too.

                                          I don't care whether you think it is good or not (which, fyi, you calling it good gives DEI a good name, at least how you all interpret it... I'm very aware of the point I'm making). 

                                          It's mandating the hiring of conservatives and the admittance of conservative students. Do you disagree with that? 

                                          yes, I disagree - it's mandating FAIRNESS and TALENT/ACHIEVEMENT is what needs to be the hiring standard. Harvard has VIOLATED THAT. Did you go to school in backwards land?

                                          Ok so Cal is pro DEI. Good to know 

                                          Mandating hiring of "diverse viewpoints"

                                          Obviously you morons are never going to understand the blatant hypocrisy here, or at the very least you'll never admit it, but it's always fun watching you squirm
