The article discusses the recent attacks on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives in higher education, particularly focusing on the weaponization of antisemitism. It highlights a congressional hearing where college presidents were accused of promoting antisemitism through their commitment to DEI. The article argues that these attacks are part of a larger effort to dismantle DEI initiatives and undermine higher education. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing the danger posed by authoritarian threats to higher education and the need to protect the democratic purposes of education. [Extracted from the article]
