Undercover Video of ASU DEI
For a fifth time, an ASU staffer has been caught on video confessing that ASU continues to push DEI even while knowing it is banned by federal law. This puts ASU’s access to federal grants in jeopardy. You can read about this latest development at The College Fix. Here is the first part of the story:
“A fifth Arizona State University staffer admitted that the school continues its “diversity, equity, and inclusion” practices in an undercover video released Tuesday.
“We are DEI,” said Kayla Elizondo-Nunez, graduate program coordinator for ASU’s School of Social Transformation, despite a federal ban on the ideology. The video was captured by investigative group Accuracy in Media.
“We do have a good community. There are lots of other progressive communities around … the Phoenix area,” she told the undercover investigator.
Asked whether the school embraces antiracism, Elizondo-Nunez said, “Yeah, we do have a number of classes on racial theory.”
Four other ASU faculty members have made similar statements in videos captured by AIM.
“I know that the new legislation has asked us to eliminate it, but it’s in our hearts in education, so education has that just naturally,” recruitment specialist Veronica McDaniel said, as previously reported by The College Fix.”
Will ASU administrators do anything to stay eligible for federal grant money? Will ABOR provide the oversight it was designed to give when universities are openly breaking federal law? We will have to wait and see.
