The quotes from the UNC spokesperson do not provide any confidence that this will be resolved smoothly. If I'm remembering correctly, their raises take effect in July meaning delaying this vote actually messes with faculty pay. You don't do that *accidentally* cause you're *super busy*.

The same administration pushing universities to ban DEI is also demanding that they have quotas based on “viewpoint diversity.” But also anybody who thinks academia lacks viewpoint diversity had never attended a faculty meeting or an academic conference. Academics almost never agree on anything.
