I'm Albert Molar, and this is The Briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from a

Christian world view.

One of the big developments on the American College and University campus are so-called

DEI statements, and we've referred to them before as the problem of the diversity, equity,

and inclusion statements.

But what we need to note is that a significant turn is now taken place, where those statements

are now not just what the University or the college declares, troublingly enough, about

its own commitments, but the commitments that it requires of those who will take part

in the university, who will be students in one sense, but even more importantly right

now, who will be faculty members.

So even the economist in London, and let's just remember this is not a conservative source

and is not coming from a conservative society and a country in Britain that isn't touched

by the same kind of agendas and DEI in all the rest, multiculturalism as it was known

in the last generation.

But what you have here is a sounding of an alarm by the economist of London saying, look,

what is taking place is the corruption of American higher education, and also the ideological

purification or standardization of American higher education in such a way that the faculties

will be made up of and only of the most incredibly progressive ideological professors who can

be found.

And it's because these DEI statements are now being required of applicants for jobs.

And so as the article begins, it tells us about no great surprise here.
