To the Editor:Re “University D.E.I.
Efforts Work Against Liberal Education,” by Christopher F. Rufo (Opinion guest essay, July 28):Mr. Rufo’s call for legislators to escalate the banning of diversity, equity and inclusion programs and curriculums constitutes an existential threat to the distinctively American tradition of liberal education.
Mr. Rufo’s anti-D.E.I.
campaign is antithetical to academic freedom, shared governance and the unfettered pursuit of the truth foundational to liberal education.
Let’s be clear: The playbook that he and his ideological colleagues are following aims to dismantle rather than reform American higher education.
