The signature campaign of MIT Chancellor Melissa Nobles to brand MIT and all of STEM as “systemically racist,” justifying DEI interventions, has been brought to an abrupt halt by the Department of Justice.
In its December 9th ruling the DOJ eliminated disparate-impact liability, the powerful guilty-until-proven-innocent buzzsaw wielded by affirmative action and DEI grifters for over half a century.
“I’m broken hearted,” sobbed Chancellor Nobles. “Thanks to DEI, I was the first female African American to become chancellor of the world’s leading STEM university despite my thin scholarly record and blaring ignorance of science and engineering. Watching the ladder I climbed to unmerited success get pulled up negates my entire lived experience.”
The Chronicle of Hijacked Education held a wake, mourning the end of an era.
Fortunately, Nobles’ most enduring legacy, the MIT Strategic Action Plan for Belonging, Achievement, and Composition, which codified the implementation of race and gender quotas using skillful sophistry to skirt the law, will continue leveraging disparate impact ideology to provide unearned benefits to preferred identity groups.
Oops… it’s been cancelled.
Well, at least her Standing Together Against Hate (STAH) program that cleverly nullified attempts to reduce antisemitism on campus by binding it at the hip to Islamophobia training is still operating. We must make sure Hamas supporters can safely exercise their freedom of expression to pee on the windows of MIT’s Hillel Office.
Oops… disappeared under the waves.
OK, but Nobles still has her cushy job as a DEI role model. Why is anybody’s guess since it looks like President Kornbluth has shifted most of her responsibilities elsewhere.
