The Era of Soft Campus Despotism Is Far from Over

For the first time in my lifetime, conservatives seem to have established momentum on American college campuses. The most radical wave of progressivism is receding; the age of DEI is ending.

Now, many state flagship universities have wiped DEI from their websites and training. Even my New England liberal-arts college has quietly moved away from DEI.
