No. They are wrong. He’s extreme and needs to go. city-journal.org/article/george…
Yet colleagues keep telling me that he's a "moderate" and a "pragmatist." And by the standards of academia, they may be right!
@jaypgreene and Mike Gonzalez from @Heritage analyzed the largest U.S. public universities in the country and found that VA's schools have the largest DEI bureaucracies. @GeorgeMasonU tops the list.
Call me crazy but a K-12 program that shows higher scores, higher academic growth and better long-term outcomes for participants at a lower cost for taxpayers sounds like a smashing success educationnext.org/an-incomplete-… @HeritageOnEd @DeAngelisCorey
The university likes to point to the law school and the economics department as evidence of this commitment, but we are apparently only welcome if we keep quiet when we disagree with the university’s overall leftist ideological bent, including its illegal DEI policies. /end
Almost every single faculty member at my university who has spoken publicly at university events about the university’s DEI policies has supported them. But President Greg Washington expressed outrage that one time, Bryan Caplan of the Economics department publicly demurred. so…
After Bryan Caplan denounces DEI in April, George Mason University president Gregory Washington gets emotional because they didn't also have someone pro-DEI speak. Says it would've been the "inclusive and equity thing" to do. The GMU econ department must be protected from this.
Harvard is next.

The more significant concessions: - Independent review to end discrimination in their admissions and hiring processes - Ban on masked protests - Disciplinary actions will now be administered by Office of the Provost (vs the Faculty Senate). They just announced serious punishments…

From @iskingsb in @CityJournal: “Greg Washington’s devotion to DEI and refusal to protect Jews on campus are painfully clear…. Leaders at other universities have resigned or been removed from office for far less. It’s time for Washington to go.”city-journal.org/article/george…
The president of George Mason University says that public universities should select leaders on the basis of "racial diversity," rather than merit, and that his job is to promote "the five pillars of social justice," rather than to pursue the truth. He should resign.

“Shared governance” doesn’t mean handing over UVA to a small, activist corner of the faculty. The Board of Visitors is accountable to the public, not to a Faculty Senate with its own agenda.
"The other canard advanced in the column is that younger Jews, in particular, have become hostile towards Israel. And while Gen Z Jews’ level of support for the Jewish state is not as high as their older counterparts, the degree of support towards Israel among the younger…
Columbia University has suspended for 1-3 years or expelled more than 70 students for their roles in the disruptive Butler Library protest during finals. Good. They deserve it. A spokesperson said, “Our institution must focus on delivering on its academic mission for our…
Heterodox Academy is baffling. It's been around for ten years, hasn't accomplished much of anything, then feels the need to lash out at those of us who have scored real-world wins, generally in the same direction. The main conceit is that Heterodox still believes academia can…

"Do No Harm...submitted a [FOIA] request to 93 public medical schools for 2024 admissions data on race, undergraduate GPA, Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) scores, and whether or not the applicant was admitted. Twenty-three schools have responded so far, and the data…
“There is a very clear problem with assisted suicide in its new guise: The state, with its almighty power, is tasked with both paying for the support of the old and disabled and regulating their dying.”
“‘Harvard can win in the courtroom but still lose almost everything it’s fought for,’ said Allison Wu, the co-founder of the 1636 Forum, a Harvard alumni community.” Exactly. A negotiated settlement likely remains the most prudent course of action as this battle drags out.
