Ah, but a speculative approach wouldn't be a misuse of data that was published to burnish the university's diversity image. Following the OP's logic here, it seems to be grounded in a complaint that the university is publishing granular diversity data as a way to burnish its image without considering potential adverse effects of publishing said data. So it's attempting to set up a scenario of two pillars of woke ideology coming into conflict - like homeless people camping in the wetlands, or trans people vs women's sports - which I think is why the writer also thinks it's something the right would pounce on. I'm offering the above analysis whilst thinking all parties in this are creating a tempest in a teapot.
