How To Get Into Harvard (Part 8) - Doubling Down on DEI and Affirmative Action
EXCLUSIVE: An e-mail from a Demoralized DIEvy League university about all the ways they will work around the Supreme Court decision to end affirmative action - are they openly breaking the law?
Comrades: The Demoralized DIEvy League is doubling down on DEI.
Wokeness is far from defeated. We are only in the second or third inning of the counter-cultural revolution. Universities are still openly disobeying the Supreme Court ruling against affirmative action. Here is one of many examples. Today, I will provide a spicy translation of a recent e-mail from a university’s alumni relations team called “Initiatives to sustain a diverse student body.”
Dear Fellow Alumni,
We are sharing a message that was sent to the campus community today by Provost [Commissar A] and Interim Vice President for Institutional Equity and Diversity [Commissar B]. It outlines a set of admission recruitment initiatives that [Clown U] is launching, focused on ensuring diverse students from all backgrounds, their families and supporters, are excited to choose [Clown U] for their academic journey.

How many commissars does it take to write a virtue signaling e-mail about potentially illegal activity?
[Clown U] is launching a set of admission recruitment initiatives focused on ensuring that diverse students from all backgrounds, their families and those who support them are excited to choose [Clown U] for their academic journey.
In the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court decision that greatly limited any consideration of race in admission decisions, [Clown U] remains committed to complying with the law while fostering a diverse and inclusive community as integral to our mission of academic excellence. With a focus on recruitment, matriculation and retention of a diverse community of students, the University has developed a set of concrete actions focused on ensuring a robust pool of highly qualified diverse students apply to [Clown U] and, once admitted, have access to the resources they need to enroll.
DEI is the opposite of academic excellence. They are doing everything you can to not comply with the law. Paging AG Pam Bondi…
Immediate strategies include:
enhancing funding for matching financial aid awards to all students admitted to [Clown U] from institutions making competitive offers
The only reasonable point that doesn’t imply any discrimination or preferential treatment.
increasing participation in [Clown U] matching program with QuestBridge, a national nonprofit that works to equalize access to top colleges and universities for talented high school students from low-income families
QuestBridge is an NGO focused on DEI demographics, so this is essentially quota laundering.
creating five new regionally based admissions positions focused on local recruiting across the country working with high schools and community-based organizations (CBOs)
Crafty way to create more useless DEI commissar jobs. Gender and Africana studies majors - polish your resumes!
creating new targeted communications campaigns for prospective students, their families and high school counselors as part of efforts to build education around accessibility, campus support and resources for career exploration
Word salad for making the brochures look more artificially diverse.
offering new admissions programming for guidance counselors, including those who work at CBOs, to build understanding of [Clown U’s] commitment to a diverse and thriving student body, as well as our individualized admissions process that considers the experiences and context of every applicant
“Experiences and context” mean essay questions about how an applicant is diverse and oppressed. Or submitting a photo. CBOs are dark money NGOs that are funded by our tax dollars and lefty virtue signaling billionaires.
activating the [Clown U] alumni network to support recruitment and matriculation efforts, building a pool of 750+ alumni for this effort
Expect to receive more spam about how you can help your alma mater violate the law, comrades!
creating a new alumni relations position to work with alumni volunteers to greatly increase capacity to engage with prospective students from underrepresented communities
More make-work commissar positions.
expanding partnerships with alumni affinity groups that cultivate relationships and support recruitment efforts among diverse communities
Hi BIPOC LGBTQ+ alums! Are your kids and their intersectional friends interested in a leg up because of their melanin levels, and sexual orientation? The least subtle wink wink nudge nudge ever.
expanding our travel grant program for prospective and admitted low-income students to enable travel to campus
Sounds like commissar grooming and racism implying that the low-income students are “diverse”. As Joe Biden once said, “Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.”
These efforts are being propelled by strong coordination across the Office of College Admission, Alumni Relations, Office of Institutional Equity and Diversity, Office of General Counsel, Office of University Communications and other partner offices. In addition, the Division of Advancement will play a key role in raising philanthropic funds to support all of these initiatives.
Imagine working in this Kafka-esque bureaucracy. Hundreds of man-hours were probably spent on this e-mail alone. If endowments were seized to pay off student debt, they wouldn’t have the funds to do any of this subversive nonsense.
As we build support from generous donors, we aim to sustain the pipeline of applicants to [Clown U] from historically underrepresented student populations; increase awareness of [Clown U’s] holistic, individualized, mission-driven admissions process among students, families and guidance counselors; and increase [Clown U’s] yield of admitted students from a diverse range of backgrounds. This will be a years-long effort as the University and other institutions continue to contend with an evolving admissions environment nationwide.
Duped donors fund the administrative overhead that went into this demoralized initiative. Note how they avoid saying they aim to increase the percentage of diverse students because that would violate the law, even though that is the actual goal. The lawyers must have worked overtime massaging the wording. What is a “holistic, individualized, mission-driven admissions process”?
Year over year, we will evaluate our efforts to determine how the entire admission pipeline — including recruitment, selection and yield — results in the enrollment of students who can make the strongest contribution to [Clown U’s] academic mission by fostering an environment of diversity and inclusion. We are committed to ensuring that prospective students and their families, as well as those who support them, feel confident in [Clown U]’s commitment to providing a diverse and inclusive environment that is welcoming to students from all backgrounds.
Ending with the same contradiction as the start. You cannot have the strongest student body with DEI. The beginning of the end starts on January 20.
Sincerely,
[Commissar A], Provost
[Commissar B], Interim Vice President for Institutional Equity and Diversity

For more on the Demoralized DIEvy League and the commissars who run them:
I am now embarrassed to say I went to a similar institution in upstate NY. What a disgrace 🤬.
But grateful I received a pre-woke education. I would probably be kicked out now!
Remove ALL Federal Funding from the universities.
Time to dismantle the whole unhinged Education System filled with the corrupted, crazed Uniparty Nazi's. Those in the Ivy League now doubling down must be deported to the nation of their choice where Soros's indoctrination/brainwashing has been instituted for decades if not centuries.
