If this is true, it's horrible

In general, I’m seeing far too much personal vitriol toward the people in these roles. As if they created them. Like it or not, the institution wrote the job description and advertised the role. Someone interviewed for it and got it. Sure, let’s eliminate the roles and lay them off with some appropriate notice. But if you’re looking for someone to be angry at blame the institution.
Of course it’s different if someone is known to have done something horrible, like that chick at Columbia who was texting derogatory comments about Jews. But for your average person filling the seat, they don’t deserve personal abuse.
Only non-witches get due process.

I'd have to disagree. That's situational ethics. if someone did horrible thing X it's ok for me to do horrible thing Y to them. I naively hope for a return to civility someday.
Again though, that's IF this is true. I haven't heard anything else about it so it may not be.

Hey @Mik while I generally agree with you about making the positions a target and not the people, what about situations like this?

What about it? There is no legitimate reason to list those names. The individuals are not the problem. It’s the department and positions.
I also question that there are 52 people dedicated to DEI.

Here’s the newspaper article the image and the receipts are pulled from.

Ok. Get shed of as many as you can. Still no need to publish their names.
I’m not disagreeing, but is the guilty party the X poster, or the newspaper and/or the journalist that put it together?
