We knew this was happening. There are too many institutions and woke zombies roaming around for this executive order on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in higher education to be fully adhered to. The Trump administration put the kibosh on this leftist project, lest institutions wish to risk their government funding. Townhall reported that Belmont University was caught trying to skirt these rules, either by not being so vocal about its DEI advocacy or by changing the name of the office.
The same modus operandi is happening at Arizona State University, where Professor Rebecca Loftus was caught admitting to skirting the law. When confronted by Accuracy in Media’s Adam Guillette, Loftus quickly ended the interview and told them to leave. All he asked was whether she could elaborate on her DEI remarks:
BREAKING: An Arizona State University professor was just caught bragging about secretly pushing DEI.

She said they're just "careful with the language" because "it's really tied to funding."
A journalist confronted her and she looked like a deer in the headlights.

"It really talks about so many of the areas just systemically where there is discriminatory practices, unequal application of the law.. they seem to target different communities differently." pic.twitter.com/46IEfXKXUz
The journalist confronting the professor reveals to her that he has her admitting on video that they're still secretly pushing DEI.

His name is @adamguillette, president of Accuracy in Media.
She says she has "no idea" when he asks for clarification. pic.twitter.com/HlbjUAKFYf
Adam presses the professor further, asking her if she'd "like to provide some more context" on what she says in the video.

She shuts down, just repeating that "you're going to have to talk to our director."
She asks him to leave. pic.twitter.com/Jhs6nC7hxa
Talk about a classic ‘deer in the headlights’ moment.
