The @compactmagazin.bsky.social article relies on cherry-picked data. Looking at ~5M employee records from public universities, we find: There isn't a secret cabal of white men pulling the strings — the *top* diversified the most. The tenure track hasn't been taken over by female or Black profs.

Yup. "Backlash" toward DEI driven by conservative elites, not the masses. The trend is even more stark when looking at beliefs about reverse discrimination.
