William A. Jacobson

William A. Jacobson, a Clinical Professor of Law and founder of Legal Insurrection, joins Matt Kittle to dive into the contentious issue of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in education. Jacobson argues that DEI initiatives often overshadow meritocracy, fueled by a politicized understanding of race. They explore a lawsuit that highlights alleged discrimination within DEI programs and analyze shifting public opinions on these initiatives in light of federal funding and policy changes. Jacobson calls for reforms to enhance fairness in academic arenas.
