Higher education institutions don’t always make the most rational decisions from a business perspective. And that’s okay. It’s something I’ve come to terms with over my 15 years working with non-profit colleges and universities. During that time, I’ve learned to appreciate that schools are, first and foremost, mission-driven. What’s best for the school, as an institution serving a meaningful mission, doesn’t always align with what’s best for the bottom line.

In some ways, 2020 seemed like it would be a watershed year for diversity officers. Given the spate of high-profile murders of Black Americans, we witnessed a surge of national empathy. In a short span of time, many college and university leaders within predominantly white institutions (PWIs) rushed to support DEI initiatives. Perhaps you recall the riotous clamor for “courageous” or “fierce conversations” — basically, a hunger for “real talk” about the perils of white supremacy and anti-Blackne

Since the plaintiffs decided to make the “high-demand, low-supply field” of tax law an example, I’d like to acknowledge one undeniably true statement: there are very few mino
