Has somebody ran that AP article past a plagiarism detection program?

Makes you wonder how accurate these things are.

On X, formerly Twitter, he wrote “SCALPED,” as if Gay was a trophy of violence, invoking a gruesome practice taken up by white colonists who sought to eradicate Native Americans.
Uhm, what?

Yes, it is.
Wonder if he would take Gay's old job?

What I learned, however, was that DEI was not about diversity in its purest form, but rather DEI was a political advocacy movement on behalf of certain groups that are deemed oppressed under DEI’s own methodology.
Under DEI, one’s degree of oppression is determined based upon where one resides on a so-called intersectional pyramid of oppression where whites, Jews, and Asians are deemed oppressors, and a subset of people of color, LGBTQ people, and/or women are deemed to be oppressed. Under this ideology which is the philosophical underpinning of DEI as advanced by Ibram X. Kendi and others, one is either an anti-racist or a racist. There is no such thing as being “not racist.”
Well summarized.

I might have mentioned before, but when I was doing graduate work at Syracuse University in 2016, I was surprised that "safe spaces" were literally physical locations. Signs in a coffee shop would declare the space "safe space for all" or something... until then I thought it was just a joke/phrase! Of course, I was tempted to test if the space was really safe for "all" or if it was really just a place to be safe from opinions that might hurt your feelings.

The question that Ackman hints at, in a general way, is this: Would any person with a CV consisting of 11-12 publications be considered qualified to be president of Harvard University, or would a higher academic standard be invoked?

I think the publications could be waived for a person of stature.
How many pubs does Condi Rice have?

Can't find her CV, yet.
But Stanford's faculty page lists 5 books.

The demarcation between reporting and advocacy has never been perfect, but this is not in the blurry middle ground.

Ackman sort of explains:
Take another bow, Mr Ackman.

Not to mention scalping originated with the Indians.

Again, all these things DEI are only a search for power and advantage. The proponents offer up a utopia, but what will really result is a bloodbath.

I imagine that anybody who works in the DEI division of large corporations, is starting to feel a little nervous about their future.
