I don't agree with their decision but it's neither Marxist nor deconstructionist. The politics of deconstruction was pretty explicitly anti-Marxist or at least non-Marxist and in the 80s-90s and the Marxists were endlessly critical of what was happening in literature departments when deconstruction really started to become popular. Your style is the paranoid one: there must be some kind of hidden plot behind the appearance, some spooky sinister theory really driving things. The reality is simpler: people are just trying not to offend, and most likely because it's bad for business!
