In a brilliant move designed to prevent taxpayer funds from being cut off for violating civil rights laws, administrators at the world’s leading STEM university … posted a new web page.

This page has all the rights words on it. Merit! Excellence! Discipline! Free Speech! It even has pictures of straight white males.

Little else at the university has changed. No DEI offices have closed. No layoffs have been announced. MIT is still spending $40M a year on DEI personnel, programs, and activist initiatives. Female undergraduate applicants still enjoy twice the acceptance rate as male applicants.

The Institute Community & Equity Office (ICEO) cleverly deleted the link to the staff page it once prominently featured. (That’ll throw off those dadgum feds.) But all the DEI deans, assistant deans, directors, managers, and staff are still beavering away at their old jobs. And if you know where to look, well – there they are, hiding in plain sight.

Some of them have new titles. Belonging, Wellbeing, Support, Community, and Engagement are very popular. But it’s the same innumerate ideologues pursuing the same identitarian and racialist agendas.

The Institute Discrimination & Harassment Response (IDHR) office is still going strong accepting anonymous denunciations, ready to convene kangaroo courts to sustain the climate of fear and enforce social justice.

The Human Resources department is still fully provisioned to advance the DEI Way and support its many identitarian resource groups.

Will President Sally Kornbluth succeed in hiding MIT’s lawbreaking long enough for a new president to come along and restore the status quo ante Trumpum? Only time will tell.
