Basically this is about a professor who believes in meritocracy and race blindness, and is angry that this isn’t considered acceptable for professorship. It doesn’t really go into whether or not the professors opinion is a valid opinion based on factual evidence for the existence of meritocracy and the benefits of race-blindness. But he could also have gone into a statement advocating for accessibility or veterans access instead, such as saying he would ensure his lab and research location will be wheelchair accessible and that any trials component of his research will be available in formats compatible with deafness or blindness. Or does he not believe in those either? What about having flexible work hours so parents can raise children, or older students can live their adult lives (which will benefit veterans)? This article is myopic and implies that DEI is thing. I actually think that belief is just as lacking in diverse thinking as it is accusing DEI to be.
