Dr. Carol Swain, a scholar and critic of modern educational policies, has expressed strong reservations about Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, describing them as “affirmative action on steroids.”

“A policy meant to uplift can ironically become a barrier,” Swain suggests, pointing to how DEI might have unintended negative consequences.

Swain argues that the implementation of DEI in academia has led to a decline in academic standards, particularly affecting racial and ethnic minorities by fostering an environment where merit is overshadowed by identity. She posits that such policies, instead of promoting true equity, hinder the advancement of the very groups they aim to help.

“I think that the Diversity Equity and Inclusion, the rise of that, has been detrimental to racial and ethnic minorities. For a long time, I’ve talked about critical race theory and Diversity Equity and Inclusion, and I call Diversity Equity and Inclusion affirmative action on steroids.” – Dr. Carol Swain

This critique opens up a broader discussion on DEI initiatives’ effectiveness and long-term impact. Swain’s perspective invites stakeholders in education and policy-making to reconsider how these programs are structured and applied, advocating for a system that genuinely supports equal opportunity without compromising merit or integrity.
