DEI Exposed puts the spotlight on a Big Con: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. DEI gurus siphoned funds for education into social engineering programs. They suckered and swindled some of the smartest people in the U.S., cost universities dearly in terms of funds and reputation, and ruined the livelihoods of countless faculty members. DEI has fueled antisemitism on college campuses and, ironically, robbed many students of fair treatment and freedom of speech-two things DEI advocates supposedly champion.How did the hustlers pull it off?This book documents the dubious credentials of DEI superstars, the use of cult conversion tactics on students, the cultivation of campus informants to instill fear and suspicion, and the lawsuits that reveal DEI’s virulent racialism at a high cost to universities in bad publicity and legal damages. DEI Exposed maps this corruption so that we can chart a course for a restoration of higher education for years to come.Ridgley reveals the striking contradictions between DEI’s stated aims and its practical effects.- Ram Mudambi, Frank M.
