Want to know how diversity, equity, and inclusion ideology has begun to take over public higher education in Alabama? Read Scott Yenor’s recent report, “Going Woke in Dixie?: The progress of DEI at the University of Alabama and Auburn University.”
He details the effects of the University of Alabama’s “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) strategic plan, lists the number of well-paid diversity officers, and catalogs how athletics and Greek life have been subordinated to DEI ideology. His description of DEI at Auburn University is just as comprehensive. “Going Woke in Dixie?” provides chapter and verse on just how badly DEI has colonized Alabama’s system of public higher education.
In 2019, the report notes, UA celebrated that more than one-third of its undergraduate curriculum is “diversity related.” The university also pays 31 dedicated DEI personnel, and its education school dean believes DEI is “the whole purpose of the university.”

Don’t they have a Board of Governor’s who can dump this POS?
Where’s Kay Ivey?
Scott Adams is right there is no fixing this just get away from it.
He's got a memorial on the Capitol mall in DC. Perhaps we need to tear that down.
And that's true in nearly all other areas of political indoctrination: TV, movies, the judiciary, the media, K-12 education, churches, social media etc.
Just another indication that universities that morphed from institutes of higher learning into cesspools of disinformation.
Yes - sports, military, etc. They go beyond safe left areas and into areas typically dominated by conservatives.
That’s the equivalent of conservatives actually getting MSNBC to have guilt trips if they don’t agree with conservative idealogy.
Morgan & Morgan time.
So, I will safely assume that this “Dean” has a marshmallow degree in the “We give all A grades” category.
Saban is best friends with Joe Manchin. He’s from West Virginia.
The Oklahoma State coach wore an OAN tee shirt a while back and they practically ran him out of the profession.
Just another indication that universities that morphed from institutes of higher learning into cesspools of disinformation.
When I think of the learned and intelligent men that the universities produced decades ago versus what is now considered “educated” it just makes me want to weep.
Notice how Marxism in the USA comes from INSIDE the government?
All those various levels of bureaucracies of course, but also private-public programs, Educational institutions, contractors, NGOs, social-welfare orgs - EVERYTHING which depends on massive government debt and printed money.
If you recall, Saban heard us loud and clear when there were some empty seats and life long Bama fans made videos of burning t-shirts. And this was during 2020 (when Bama was playing well enough and ultimately won the natty). All of that from a fan base that he praised over and over with awe saying his first impression of Bama fans was us showing our support in 2007 (his first season) with an almost full stadium for just a spring A-day game.
When fans went from that passionately supporting to that passionately against you ... Saban took notice. After that there were a few times within a year the he said something like "black lives matter because all lives matter" and then he let it go. I haven't heard anything from him about stuff like that since. So I, too, let it go and am back to being a Bama fan.
That's the message we should send. We can't be like leftists with their forever cancel culture policy. When we boycott we have to give them a chance to change their ways and be accepted....or we risk showing them there's no pleasing us anyway (like there's no pleasing the left).
The legislatures need to lift their heads out of their rear ends long enough to start paying attention—and acting.
Mullet Gundy is still coaching at Oke State.
How about diversity in Alabama athletics?
Seems pretty one sided to me.
Thanks for the post, but I’d have bet the barn on what I’d see even before scrolling by that pic.
F’n cotton . . .
A potami has escaped the getto!
