    284. The Case Against DEI
    Jul 2 2025

    Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI) is a movement aimed at promoting diversity on college campuses and a variety of institutions. On the surface, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are all positive words; for most people at least, promoting these values is a good thing. But in the particular context of the DEI movement, there are many who do express concerns. Does DEI place too great a premium on identity over ideas? Are certain core cultural values de-prioritized in the name of equality? Is DEI too nihilist a view in the way we look at the world and the way it influences policies? Stefan Padfield joins the podcast.
