Every week comes another account of a college or university establishing reigning orthodoxies of divisive leftism and then denying the obvious. The latest profile in dishonesty is Virginia’s George Mason University. It is trying to dodge well-founded criticism by the conservative Heritage Foundation.
GMU President Gregory Washington replied with an email to all 40,000 of his students disputing Heritage’s numbers and pronouncing the university a free speech mecca. Some of his points may be valid — for example, when he argued that Heritage’s use of only tenure-track faculty might not be the fairest indice.
The larger point, however, is not whose numbers are correct. The essential truth is that there is no good reason for any of these DEI positions, except perhaps a handful, rather than dozens, to meet federal mandates intended, often spuriously, to guarantee the protection of civil rights.
Heritage noted that the University Life page “hosts” a website for Black Lives Matter, a wholly discredited and fraudulent organization founded on a lie. This isn’t just providing one link among other links to a plethora of organizations. Until Friday morning, the “About Us” page so prominently featured BLM and only BLM that it made it appear as if that massive grift was part of the University Life office itself.
