We invite you to join the National Association of Scholars tomorrow at 2 pm ET for a discussion of how affirmative action encouraged the creation of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). We also invite you to join us this Friday at 3 pm ET for a discussion on decolonizing mathematics.

More on our upcoming webinars:

Join NAS tomorrow, February 14, at 2 pm ET for "From Affirmative Action to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion."

The corrosive effect of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) ideology on American higher education is well-documented. But what is less commonly explored is how DEI first infiltrated university administrations, transforming from an armchair theory to an active force in the academy. Long before the first DEI office was formed, admissions offices across the country were using DEI ideology to justify the use of racial preferences in admissions decisions.

This webinar will uncover the connection between affirmative action and the current DEI regime on campus, exposing the way that racial preferences contributed to DEI’s takeover of American academia.

This webinar will feature Hal Arkes, Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Ohio State University; Nick Capaldi, Legendre-Soule Professor of Business Ethics Emeritus at Loyola University New Orleans; and Ward Connerly, civil rights activist, businessman, and former University of California Regent.
The event will be moderated by David Randall, Director of Research at the National Association of Scholars.

Join NAS Friday, February 17, at 3 pm ET for "Decolonizing Mathematics."

In November Dr. John Armstrong penned an article in The Spectator, "The sinister attempts to ‘decolonise’ mathematics," in which he describes a proposal of new standards for teaching university mathematics that accounts for Europe’s colonial history. Dr Armstrong pushed back against this idea. His initiative won the support of several colleagues, an unusual occurrence for these kinds of political intrusions into the sciences.

This webinar will feature John Armstrong, a Reader in Financial Mathematics at University College London and a former Executive Director in Operations Technology at Goldman Sachs.

The discussion will be hosted by J. Scott Turner, Director of the Diversity in the Sciences Project.
