Harvard University announced it will not comply with orders from Donald Trump to cut DEI programs and expel students in involved in pro-Palestinian protests.
I don’t understand how fixing existing discrimination is in itself discrimination. People are not being oppressed because they aren’t being given special treatment anymore. DEI policies have absolutely nothing to do with quotas or giving protected classes special treatment.
"No government — regardless of which party is in power — should dictate what private universities can teach,” Garber said, “whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue.”
Specifically, this tidbit “whom they can admit and hire”
Where does that say what you’re claiming? If the government said they could only hire black students, or white students, or only men, wouldn’t them standing against it be identical? It does not say they’re using quotas. It only says for the government to keep their hands out of their decisions.

Well, when you discriminate, either positively or negatively, it’s discrimination.
Glad to help clear that up!
But it’s explicitly not discrimination. It’s inclusion. Meaning “in addition to”. No one is left out by it lol.
Despite what they claimed, they were discriminating.
And that claim is based on what? Anecdotes?
The article
Where in the article does it say Harvard was discriminating?

I always find it amazing that people fail to understand such a basic concept.
