One of the most powerful influences in higher education today is the concept of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). Managed by an ever-growing bureaucracy and promoting a seductive, though ambiguous, message to this generation of students, DEI continues to grow on campuses. Of course what gestates on campuses doesn't stay there. DEI is now a ubiquitous mantra across the country, adopted by corporations, professional associations, scientific funders, publication reviewers, museum collections, award ceremonies, theatrical productions, movie casts and plots, orchestras and their repertoires, among many other industries and institutions. Who could object to these concepts? Seeing a billboard declaring, "Diversity is our strength" doesn't really hurt anyone, does it? DEI advocates argue that no good person could support monocultures, inequality or exclusion, so the movement is just promoting "common good" ethics. This article discusses the following: (1) is DEI a common good ethic?; (2) DEI as a partisan agenda; and (3) resistance to DEI in faculty hiring.
