The Anatomy of a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Takeover: A Case Study of the University of Tennessee

This report offers analysis of the University of Tennessee's Diversity Action Plans. Every academic college and every Vice-Chancellor Unit on campus issued plans. True to Chancellor Donde Plowman's vision, these colleges and units propose extensive and ideologically-charged reforms. The National Association of Scholars finds in these plans nothing short of a blueprint for an institutional overhaul--the anatomy of a diversity, equity, and inclusion takeover. Such a takeover will have obvious implications for education at the University of Tennessee. The National Association of Scholars believes that true education will erode and indoctrination will flourish. These plans, moreover, reveal in extensive detail what an exhaustive diversity, equity, and inclusion program looks like. Thus the report provides a case study in the rolling revolution under way in academia.
