Stanford DEI team wants ‘diversity of opinions’ but details unclear

Stanford University officials want to see a “diversity of opinions” on campus as part of their new “Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access” plans.

But they won’t answer questions on how they plan to do that, particularly as its DEI plan and other projects includes initiatives that appear to support cancel culture or could limit open debate.

The Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access in a Learning Environment initiative is a new strategic plan for the university.

The university wants to “create an environment where a diversity of opinions can flourish and where attempts to silence the speech of others are not tolerated” and ensure “people of diverse backgrounds and perspectives have a voice and feel empowered to participate in active, respectful, and civil discourse.”
