I've been through a lot of diversity training and I've never been compelled to say anything or even fill out a quiz that went beyond "did you listen to this material." If I was ever expected to parrot a party line it was _always_ "Tell us you understand that we can get sued if you do X."
I work in an area where DEI is emphasized more than even at a University in general. I've never found it to be particularly onerous and often find it interesting.
When people act like these often banal things (often more or less explicitly directed towards shielding the organization from liability) are compelled speech in front of a firing squad, I have to wonder whether they've really done any. Incidentally, I've seen old white guys say all sorts of stuff at these trainings. I've never heard of anyone getting fired or pushed out of a position.

- iraqmtpizza 3y agoSounds like you've never attended an American university. I envy you.
- nathan_compton 3y agoMan, I attended American universities my whole life and I work at one.

You doubt that I had to come in after class to get the content my speech approved for public speaking class because conservative radio might have naughty ideas, even though it's censored by the FCC (yes, speech class, in which the content of the speech is completely beside the point)? This was like 2010. I can only imagine how bad it is today
