Proponents preach that someone\u2019s skin tone confers a particular moral value and that Marxism is the only answer to supposed \u201csystemic\u201d injustices, all while refusing to present competing philosophies. As programs often include racially segregated \u201cfocus groups,\u201d propose reverse discrimination, and shut down viewpoint diversity, there is nothing diverse, equal, or inclusive about DEI. <\/p>\n<p>Universities across the country have implemented brand new academic departments dedicated to critical race theory as if it were as valid as the study of history or English. It is also normal for each academic department, from chemistry to theater, to have its own diversity, equity, and inclusion committees. The committees are then able to give DEI seminars in majors that would otherwise never discuss racial or social \u201cinequity.\u201d DEI committees have also begun impacting universities\u2019\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/01\/04\/u-chicago-science-professor-under-assault-for-criticizing-no-white-men-hiring-rules\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hiring processes<\/a> by mandating faculty quotas based on race and sex.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why DeSantis\u2019 plan doesn\u2019t stop at eliminating DEI and CRT funding. Florida\u2019s governor also plans to give university presidents and boards of trustees more power in the hiring and firing of professors \u2014 power that has been taken away by faculty entitlements and bloated bureaucracy like the DEI committees.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Reviews for post-tenure faculty\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/flvoicenews.com\/desantis-proposes-defunding-crt-bureaucracies-at-all-public-universities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reportedly<\/a>\u00a0occur every five years in Florida, but DeSantis wants the boards of trustees and the presidents of the universities to have the ability to call for a review at any time. \u201cThe most significant deadweight cost at universities is typically unproductive tenure faculty,\u201d DeSantis stated. \u201cAnd so why would we want to saddle you as taxpayers with that cost, if we don\u2019t have to do that?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, he is proposing that university presidents have more authority in the hiring process. \u201cThat\u2019s going to make a huge, huge difference in terms of making sure not only we have high-quality faculty, but we\u2019re not implying some type of ideological litmus test to be able to be hired in the first place,\u201d said DeSantis.<\/p>\n<p>The governor\u2019s state education reforms also include implementing core course requirements that will be grounded in \u201cactual philosophy that has shaped Western civilization\u201d and will propel students to \u201cthink for themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t want students<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;All DEI and CRT bureaucracies in the state of Florida \u2014 no funding, and that will wither on the vine,&#8217; said DeSantis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1623,"featured_media":1830570,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[546],"tags":[5092,13816,16574,4980,5113,12761,4025,3799,5069,5095,10658],"class_list":["post-1830567","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-federalist","tag-critical","tag-defund","tag-dei","tag-desantis","tag-florida","tag-nonsense","tag-plan","tag-public","tag-race","tag-theory","tag-universities"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1830567","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1623"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1830567"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1830567\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1830570"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1830567"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1830567"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1830567"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
