       From the author of Private Truths, Public Lies. The Social Consequences of Preference Falsification which is supposed to be the book on the subject.Which I just noticed was published in 1997 by Harvard University Press :cirnoHeh: !  Paragraph breaks added:"Timur Kuran @timurkuran"Preference falsification has been central to the trajectory of DEI."People who abhor DEI principles and methods came to favor these publicly through a preference cascade. Every instance of preference falsification induced others to pretend they consider DEI just, efficient, beneficial to marginalized groups, etc. In time, a false consensus effectively displaced the search for truth as the university’s core mission, replacing it with DEI.Most professors watched in concealed horror the transfer of enormous powers from themselves to  rapidly growing DEI bureaucracies. In countless contexts, they endorsed policies they considered harmful, participated in the defamation of scholars they admired, and sheepishly submitted to DEI training—all to be left alone, to avoid being called racist, to advance their careers.""But the resulting equilibrium was self-undermining. In emboldening DEI officials, it increased privately felt anger and resentment. The stage was set for a preference cascade in reverse.The shock that unleashed the ongoing cascade in reverse was the Hamas massacres of October 7. The chain of events that they triggered in the U.S.—anti-Jewish demonstrations, the Congressional hearings, the plagiarism revelations—brought to the surface outrage that had been building up quietly for years.As public criticism of DEI grew, and as it became clear that broad segments of the left share the outrage, the DEI-favoring false consensus disintegrated. The process is by no means over.As preference falsification on DEI continues to diminish, more scholars and administrators will find in themselves the courage to stand up for values that they truly believe in. Though the DEI complex will fight back, it won’t be easy to quash the honest discourse finally under way. Public critics of DEI know they aren’t alone."Someone noted he's on the organizing committee of the Association for Analytic Learning about Islam and Muslim Societies (AALIMS, evidently a pun on scholar) - Harvard Conference on the Political Economy of the Muslim World this April.Thus I note he both knows a lot about preference falsification and cascades, the latter starting the "Arab Spring," and is thus much more secure in his position at ultra-woke Duke to spread such crimething today.So we can only hope.  And it's still just Leftists arguing among themselves, they've already "academically genocided" the Right out of all their institutions as another reply noted.https://nitter.net/timurkuran/status/1742439137372762427https://aalims.org/aalims-harvard-conference-on-the-political-economy-of-the-muslim-world-2024/

       @ThatWouldBeTelling Does this mean I'll get to have a serious career soon?
