The Diversifying Higher Education Equality in Illinois program, which provides financial aid exclusively to minority graduate students pursuing careers in higher education, is under fire for its race-based eligibility criteria, as it does not allow white applicants.

A dark web user has claimed responsibility for briefly hacking New York University’s website Saturday, and replacing it with what appeared to be student test scores and an apparent racial epithet.
Instead of the usual images of college athletes and the Greenwich Village campus, the site instead featured a black background with green writing showing a message along with charts of what were purported to be SAT and ACT scores and GPAs for students in 2024, divided by race.

The great objective of DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) was to tribalize our institutions, recruiting government and corporate employees into affinity groups based on their race, sex, sexuality and other factors, and then defining institutional goals around the “right” tribal mix through selective hiring and promotions.
The complete inversion of civil rights, from race-neutral to race-conscious, also transformed the intended purpose of government and all lesser institutions, from tribal neutrality to tribal partisanship, and it was impossible to achieve this without tribalizing government.
RAF bosses have launched a desperate search for pilots after a secret bid to discriminate against white male applicants backfired.
Candidates previously overlooked are now being urged to re-apply for training as the Air Force frantically tries to fill cockpits with combat-ready flyers, the Mail can reveal.
The plea follows a controversial drive by top brass to prioritise the recruitment of women and ethnic minorities, which was found to be unlawful.
For decades, the political left—and even parts of the right—have insisted that “diversity is our strength” and has striven to convince Americans (and other Westerners) of the importance and beauty of “multiculturalism” and other related social phenomena. Today, with Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs and ideology under attack by most of the right and by the Trump Administration in particular, the left is howling that the nation’s principles themselves are being harmed and that we, as a people, are doing tremendous damage to the fabric of our society, sacrificing one of our most important characteristics on the altar of white privilege.
Canada’s military should fix white supremacy problem before it starts: analyst
An Alberta-based analyst asked by the military to study white supremacy in its ranks says if it doesn’t want the problem to take root, it should take action against a culture that gives it room to grow.
Political scientist Andy Knight says his research suggests current attitudes within the Armed Forces favour white, male and Christian cultures and put groups like women, people of colour, newcomers and the 2SLGBTQ+ community at a disadvantage.
… He said the research became all the more intriguing after it was revealed that some military members were involved in the 2022 “Freedom Convoy” protests against COVID-19 rules that shut down much of downtown Ottawa for weeks.
The horror! CAF is favouring “White” people over the government’s preferred perma-victims!
And the CAF wonders why its primary recruiting pool – white males – have given up on the armed forces as a viable career.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass fired Los Angeles Fire Chief Kristin Crowley — one of the city’s “top fire lesbians” who pushed DEI across the department — Feb. 21, citing “public safety” and blaming her for the disastrous response to the massive Palisades and Eaton fires that consumed parts of the city last month.
But the city’s priorities are still misplaced, according to documents a whistleblower provided to The Federalist. LAFD EMTs are required to take training to meet the requirements for renewing certification, some of which still advances radical gender ideology. And Crowley is still with the department, just in a lower rank. So perhaps Bass’ lip service to “public safety” is less about accountability for the deadly fires, and more about escaping it.
Missouri has sued Starbucks for discrimination because its workforce has “become more female and less white”.
Filed on Tuesday by the state’s Republican attorney general, the lawsuit accuses the coffee chain of engaging in “systemic racial, sexual, and sexual orientation discrimination” through its diversity, equity and inclusion policies, including hiring quotas, advancement opportunities and board membership.
The lawsuit alleges that as of 23 August 2020 the company’s US employee breakdown was 69% women, and that by 24 September 2024 the figure was 70.9% women.
Diversity, equity and inclusion policies are “sadly lacking in idea diversity” and are driven by people who believe that racism explains everything, said Mark Milke, founder and president of the Aristotle Foundation on Public Policy.
Milke was talking to John Ivison about a new study of academic hiring practices at Canadian universities undertaken by the Aristotle Foundation.
The study found a near universal use of DEI policies to promote the equality of outcomes in the university system.
An aspiring air traffic controller who claims he was denied a job because of diversity targets said the aviation agency’s obsession with inclusion made an accident likely to happen.
Andrew Brigida, 35, scored 100 per cent in his training exam but claims he was denied a position in an air traffic control tower because the recruitment process of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) favoured diverse candidates.
He is part of a class action lawsuit filed against the federal agency.
Trump administration officials are pressing federal agencies to dig deeper to find diversity workers to push out of the government, according to current and former officials familiar with internal conversations.
President Trump’s Office of Personnel Management last week required federal agencies to close offices that focus exclusively on diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility and place employees of those divisions on paid administrative leave by Jan. 22. Agency leaders were required to submit a list of all DEI employees the following day.

Nine in 10 academic job postings from some of the largest universities in Canada incorporate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) principles in their hiring processes, a new study suggests.
The analysis, published by the Calgary-based think tank Aristotle Foundation, says that 98 percent of active job postings at 10 of Canada’s largest public universities include DEI requirements or strategies for filling vacancies.
9 out of 10? Good to know nearly everyone is getting a crappy education and not just you!
Retired Air Force Brigadier General Christopher Walker, 59, spent almost two years as a senior adviser to the Air Force’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion at the Pentagon, attending dozens of meetings about implementing DEI initiatives. This was an unusual role given Walker’s career path: He had over 400 hours of combat flights and, most recently, had overseen West Virginia’s Air National Guard.
But in 2021, when the Air Force established its Office of Diversity and Inclusion, staffers assumed that Walker would be on board with their belief that DEI was a “warfighting imperative.” Why? Because Walker is black. But that assumption was wrong.
Corporations are sick of diversity hacks
The buzzy Apple show Severance depicts a group of office drones trapped in a cubicle hell called Lumon Industries. It’s a workplace drama in which suspiciously little is revealed about the actual work done by protagonist Mark Scout (played by Adam Scott) and his colleagues. It appears to be a Sisyphean task of sorting random numbers — but we have no idea why, and neither do they. Do any of these people hunched over screens do anything of use?
General Eric Smith denied the existence of DEI programming in the Marine Corps, disgracing himself and the entire Corps in the process.
For the first time since I joined the Marine Corps in 1969, I am ashamed of the organization. Until now, no Marine Corps commandant has been accused of lying to the American public. On January 15th of this year, General Eric Smith told a whopper. When asked by a group of reporters what the Corps’ position was, Smith answered unequivocally; “As far as DEI, the Marine Corps has not had DEI programs, never have.”
