DEI on Campus
The Writing Is on the Wall for Jewish Students
We must challenge professors and students who tacitly endorse antisemitic violence in the guise of ‘resistance’
BY THOMAS ULLMAN
The DEI Complex Will Never Protect Jews
The problem isn’t that the system—of affinity groups, diversity officers, microaggression policing, and more—hasn’t included Jews until now. It’s that the system itself is dangerous.
BY ARMIN ROSEN
It’s not about diversity, equity, or inclusion. It is about arrogating power to a movement that threatens not just Jews—but America itself.

→ That’s the number of accidental releases of controlled pathogens in U.S. labs between 2015 and 2022, according to data from the Federal Select Agent Program, the Daily Mail reports. Little information is available about the nature of these releases due to national security concerns, but a “release” is defined as when a pathogen escapes its primary containment area (such as a test tube or ventilated unit), and “controlled” pathogens include anthrax, tuberculosis, Ebola, and smallpox. The Daily Mail reports on one incident in 2016, when a medical student in St. Louis accidentally pierced herself with a needle infected with the chikungunya virus and spent four days interacting with others before realizing she was sick, and another in 2018, when smallpox might have been released in Fort Detrick, Maryland, when a room containing the virus was flooded in a storm.
