The key context here is this:

Among other things, it requires the university to hire a cadre of White House-approved commissars to ensure that MAGA conservatives are equally represented, not only at the university level but at each individual department, teaching and research “unit” — both in hiring and admissions. The White House demands that every department and unit be “audited” by the outside commissar group for “viewpoint diversity.” Each department or unit found not to have sufficient MAGA representation (defined as “viewpoint diversity”) “must be reformed by hiring a critical mass of new faculty” to “provide viewpoint diversity.” Same language but with respect to admissions. Any department or unit which lacks MAGA representation must admit a bunch of new, MAGA, “viewpoint diverse” students

“provide viewpoint diversity.” “viewpoint diverse” students

The new meaning of diversity is to sprinkle MAGA on every fucking dish?

They are really doing DEI work, but the other way around

Just like Party’s Commissar in Soviet Russia? This is not the timeline I wanted to live.
