Yet further evidence, if any were needed, about the destructive role that universities now play. The so-called "grievance" subjects of gender, race, sexuality, and religion have taken over the universities, including STEM fields, in their entirety. They are no longer institutes of learning and research, but are now institutionalized grievance political parties and nothing more. Grievance party politics are upheld and enforced by the ever expanding DEI bureaucracies, who now run the universities. Professors of what were once actual fields of study are today no more than servants, very frightened servants. I can't tell you how glad I am to be out of it.
My university's strategic plan literally says "institutionalize diversity, equity, and inclusion." I've also worked in university accreditation, and they required universities to demonstrate our commitment to these values in order to keep their accreditation.

I really feel for the few non-woke teachers who have to pretend every day to believe the lunatic dogma.
