California has been sharpening the DEI since the introduction of Prop 209 in 1996. DEI developed as a way to push for diversity absent the legal mechanism of affirmative action. Unfortunately, the voters killed Prop 96 just last year which would have rolled back 209, so it looks as if we are stuck with DEI for the duration.
I am not aware of any college in the US founded by faculty which succeeded. Colleges need much broader and more powerful sanctioning bodies -- faculty are just hired hands. That said, colleges do not exist exclusively for the students either. They come for the feast, but should neither cause food fights nor dictate the menu. Yet, so too legislators, who should simply keep their hands off and let the market place of evolving ideas dictate needs. There is a great tradition, now both undermined and trampled over, but the positive news is that in America it has been a ferment since 1636.
