I am not sympathetic to this, simply because it is a long standing weapon to attack education.
If you believe, truly, in the market place of ideas, then the question is why you dont have wildly successful conservative universities springing up, to take advantage of the inefficiency this so called purity testing is taking up.
If professors are going to leave the country whole sale, thats a pretty clear sign of preferences which can’t be faked.

A point I raise on the DEI angle. We are at a stage where, with better ways to allocate resources, humanity could become (or be on its way to) a post scarcity species. This used to be the dream.
The question is how we spend our time. Part of that journey is the existence of role models from communities where there is a low diversity of examples of careers to take one through life.
DEI doesn’t mean that this is anti-majority. I’ve heard this particular assault in more than one country now. Fundamentally, the issue is never DEI.
The issue, stripping past the politics, is always resource distribution, AKA jobs.
