I think that community culture is fine. There is a difference between rebranding versus reallocating resources to a replacement office with the same staff. Organizations for student well being, especially those who have had harder lives, is not a bad thing. Discrimination is of course different, and some of the entities were doing that.
Isn’t it obvious that the people who run Ivy League universities, among others, are hopelessly bigoted and will never quit? We need to set an example by suing one of these schools into bankruptcy and then turning the campus into a museum celebrating true American values.
Let us consider the "fairness" of terms such as: inseminated person, cervix-haver, menstruator, birthing body &etc of universalist phrases meaning simply, woman, girl. Their captured language, invented in the Office of Campus Culture, Office of Community Culture actually ARE aggressions, mother erasure, female erasure and psychological violence. Why is that? Because men cannot breastfeed an infant and an expectant mother should not be on testosterone for her own selfish embodiment goals. Both of these unacceptable behaviors put the infant/unborn child at risk and damage the mother/child relationship. This is straight up totalitarianism.
Excellent critical analysis of how the consistent focus on alleged needs of groups erases individuals. The concept of “prejudice,” which predated current jargon regarding “phobias,” describes this same problem. We used to know that prejudging individuals in terms of traits attributed to groups is the basis of racism, sexism, and other forms of unfair discrimination.
“Phobias” on the other hand are irrational fears not generally based on past negative experiences with the thing that is feared. It is not “phobic” to have negative views of specific groups if one has had a number of bad experiences with members of that group, or if one has learned that members of that group routinely victimize people like oneself. Most women will take avoidant actions to protect themselves from attack, such as crossing a street at night to avoid a man walking towards them. This is neither “phobic,” sexist or discriminatory, but is a sensible step in the presence of variable risk of being attacked by individuals in the male population.
Just say NO to this 'rebranding' crap.
Love Heather Mac Donald!

I nominate Harvard.
Provocateurs often ask, baitingly, “which part of DEI do you have a problem with!” My answer: this part.
