Mac Donald ends The Diversity Illusion with Part 4, The Purpose of the University, containing four short chapters that are well worth reading even if you disagree with her views.

She suggests that the University of California (or an individual campus) is now two institutions: Cal 1 and Cal 2. We can leave the case of conservatives aside, whether they may justly claim that they're discriminated against, and I would urge even conservatives not to start playing the victim card.
Chapter 4, The Microaggression Farce, gives examples of the dangers professors with years of successful teaching and good rapport with students face from innocently committing the most micro of microaggressions. Mac Donald gives figures of the surprisingly high cost of campus diversity bureaucracies throughout. I was, nevertheless, fortunate in that I was able to read the greatest authors of English literature – Chaucer, Milton, Wordsworth, Spencer – without anybody thinking of complaining about their gonads and melanin. And as long as the dominant explanation for any disparities in any institution is discrimination, whether it's in the STEM fields, or in reporting, in the media, in a corporation, in a foundation, in a scientific lab, as long as that remains the go-to explanation, it's going to be very hard to beat back this victim identity and the ongoing assault on meritocracy.

It seems there's a trend among these schools to not really work on the due process side. It is a cautionary tale of the loss of free speech and the lack of courage and integrity in so many areas of contemporary business and education.

The status of Universities and Academia itself has been critically harmed by capitulating their true mandates – subjugated rather to ignorance – just as our Politicians, Corporations and the Media have done as well….
