It isn't exactly obvious to me that the events surrounding George Floyd were of sufficient historical importance, all things considered, so that the world's greatest universities should have reconstituted their promotion, hiring, selection, and publishing criteria. But that is what they did, instead of having like an iota of courage.

Harvard FAS, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, mandated DEI statements for all tenure-track hires, evaluating candidates' commitment to diversity alongside scholarship. Well, alongside or prior? We'll get to that, too. Grant applications to NIH and NSF increasingly required DEI plans, with 80% of major research universities adopting similar mandates by 2023. Okay, so understand that.

You have to hire on the basis of race and sex and gender and sexual identity, and you have to promote and you have to publish on those spaces. Okay, and so, well, what does that mean? It means that you've stopped. using truth, quality, and merit as criteria. So why the hell should you be getting any money? Now, let me make another case here. And I know this to be true as well.

So I talked to a lot of professors at Stanford, especially at the Hoover Institute, eh? And there were some people in Stanford, like Jay Bhattacharya, who's doing quite well now in the new Trump administration, just as case in point, who stood up against the woke mob in the mid-2010s. And Jay suffered pretty tremendously because of that, but he had a few colleagues around him who stuck by him.

And you know, it's possible for the woke mob cancellation psychopaths to go after people one by one really successfully. But if there's like five of you and your major researchers and stellar professors and you band together, they haven't got a hope. And so how many places did that happen at? Well, it happened at Stanford. That's one place.

And that was also a place, by the way, because it had the Hoover Institute, that had a place where there were actually some classic liberals and conservatives. It's not like Jay Mattacharius, some kind of Nazi. You know, first of all, he's a person of color. And so, you know, obviously should be credited with that for what it's worth. But what am I making a case for here?

If five of my colleagues... with my kind of research background, or better, had stood together at three universities and told the DEI mob to go to hell, none of this would have happened. And that didn't happen. And that's an illustration of a depth of cowardice that's so profound that it still shocks me. And those of you listening and
