@davidamann If there were 20,000 instances of sexual assault, or false allegations of sexual assault, or plagiarism scandals, or instances of epithets hurled at students, would you declare it not a problem because it was so far below your one percent threshold? — PolitiTweet.org

@IyengarGiri I am versed in its several, evolving meanings. Are you or do you just know the original one? — PolitiTweet.org

@samismx @epkaufm I think we can draw a distinction among administrators. The University President and the Director of DEI have different incentives — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
In the public discourse I wish that we had, DEI administrators at American institutions of higher education would be engaging with one another in a thoughtful, open debate about if and when it is appropriate to draft apology letters for students. Am I missing any of that? — PolitiTweet.org

@IyengarGiri @JeremyPhilosoph There are many people of color who critique what you call "wokeness". — PolitiTweet.org

@IyengarGiri @JeremyPhilosoph Are you presuming Jeremy's race? I don't know it but I do know stereotyping that way can lead us astray. — PolitiTweet.org

@monicacbell @NathanJRobinson See my response to your points on accuracy in your original thread. On larger points––I'd love to discuss them with you in a written back-and-forth if you're ever up for it. I can point you to links of past examples I've done with others and both of us would up happy we did. — PolitiTweet.org

@mariachong I regret misnaming the DEI bureaucracy at Yale Law, but that error does not bear on the critique of the Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and the steps he and his colleague took in this matter, which were described accurately. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@Phollandaise @monicacbell Yes, OSA, sorry for the typo. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@monicacbell we should affirm that students should be free to express offense and to explain why they took offense. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@monicacbell I focused on the administrators, but in my view, 9 discrimination and harassment complaints filed in reaction to that email are an example of diversity run amok, because it clearly neither rises to the level of discrimination or harassment. That said, I think you are right that — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@monicacbell I don't believe this to be inaccurate. When you make accusations of *celebrating whiteness* and *cosplay* and *blackface* you are making some presumptions about the other person's mindset--for example, that they associate a thing with blackness, something the student contests. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@monicacbell I would love to get clarity on and report precisely on the totals. Whatever they are, I won't opine on whether the bureaucracy is intimidating, only that multiple stakeholders at Yale Law, including students and faculty, tell me they are intimidated by it. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@monicacbell I do disagree with the implication here. My story and the audio it was based on was clear to readers that the people acting here were two people, the Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and an Associate Dean. As for the total staff and budget for all DEI at Yale Law, — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@monicacbell Hi Professor Bell. First, thanks for flagging my error--I erroneously thought the Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion ran an office of that name, under OAS, but in fact, as you know, there is no office of that name. Already corrected. — PolitiTweet.org

@viewthenews1029 Well, they didn't help draft the apology he wanted to make so much as draft the apology that they wanted him to make. — PolitiTweet.org

@KarynAmira It means that you use complaints as a pretext to launch investigations, which you use as a pretext to exercise power that you otherwise couldn't — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@jduffyrice You don't necessarily side with the complainant. You do launch an investigation, and use that as a pretext to wield power. — PolitiTweet.org

If a college student says something to which classmates take offense, and the Office of Diversity responds by drafting an apology and giving it to the student to sign as if they wrote it themselves, that is — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
There is a symbiotic relationship between frivolous student complaints and power-seeking administrators, and given the attendant perverse incentives, only faculty or trustees can end it. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
As I noted in the piece, the Yale DEI bureaucrats gave the student what was, at best, egregiously underinformed and incomplete guidance on apologies and their likely effect. There is research on this: https://t.co/NpPCtsTt37 — PolitiTweet.org

@NathanJRobinson My piece articulates what I believe the broader significance to be explicitly; and you can look back on my 2015 pieces on Yale and see how the features of activism I described there portended much of what we later saw beyond the institution. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
One thing I really want to know: in academia, how many apologies and other statements that appear to come from one individual are actually ghostwritten by the DEI office? And do faculty and presidents believe this practice is compatible with academic values? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
The behavior of Yale Law’s Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion was unethical, discreditable, and clearly incompatible with key values that the elite law school purports to uphold. Here are five specific transgressions: https://t.co/NpPCtsTt37 — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
What do diversity bureaucrats at Yale Law actually do behind closed doors? Thanks to covertly recorded audio the public just got a rare peek. Other DEI professionals should tell us: do you agree with or disagree with these methods? https://t.co/NpPCtsTt37 — PolitiTweet.org
