Daily Caller: Elite University Donor Pledges To Pull Funding, Calls On President To Resign Over Diversity, Equity And Inclusion
EXCERPT
A Cornell emeritus trustee and donor announced in a Tuesday letter that he would pull funding and called on the president to resign while criticizing the school’s commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).
Cornell’s commitment to DEI is “misguided” and has disgraced the university, Jon Lindseth wrote in the letter addressed to the Board of Trustees and to Chairman Kraig Kayser. He pledged to stop contribution until the school “reformulates its approach to education” by eliminating “DEI groupthink” and called for university President Martha Pollack to resign.
