They want their falsehoods to be given equal weight as facts and the truth, it's unacceptable.

The conclusion of her policy is that conservative students lack the talent or aptitude to be accepted on their own merit.

Maybe a higher education leads to a more liberal view on life. isn’t forcing Harvard to hire conservative staff……. DEI?

These are private institutions. They do get in on merit. Also college applications do not ask for political affiliation.

The majority of faculty across this country lean liberal. That's because liberals tend to be more educated, have more exposure to diverse ideas and thinking

So the conservative students can't come in under her "merit" system.

Could somebody ask her whether Liberty University needs viewpoint diversity and admit a large number of liberal, LGBTQ, non Christian, atheist and Jewish students…

So you can’t recruit with DEI in mind, except when it relates to political ideology?

So Harvard doesn’t have enough conservative but it’s ok that government is predominantly non-minority!

Very hard to find a critical mass of highly educated people who are also conservative

I feel as though Harvard not having a lot of conservative professors and students says more about people who are conservative than it does their admission/hiring process.

So they’re demanding they fire professors based on their political views?! And then hire an equal number of professors with conservative views? Not based on their merit or ability to teach? You can’t even defend this kind of hypocrisy.

It’s ironic that she wasn’t hired on merit.

The Meritocracy Trap should be required reading for all citizens! People who espouse a merit based system conveniently forget, or willfully omit, the necessity for investment. The fact is, merit cannot be earned without investment, luck, and a bit of privilege!

Does she have a degree? Probably NOT! How sad to be the Secretary of Education and not knowing your qualifications.

I wonder how people who went to Harvard feels when she says those people didn’t get in on merit?

Liberty university probably only has 3% of liberal professors… is that not an issue for her?
