Dr. Carol Swain says DEI is affirmative action ‘on steroids’

Dr. Carol Swain, former Vanderbilt University tenured professor, explains how aggressive affirmative action in the 1990s paved the way for ex-Harvard President Claudine Gay’s rise to the top of higher education. “She comes from Haitian aristocracy. She’s exactly the kind of pedigree the Ivy League schools have always wanted. For the most part, they’ve always taken the offspring of immigrants in greater numbers, leaving behind the black descendants of slaves who may be high achieving,” she says.
