The DEI Admissions Scam Is Catching Up With Elite Universities
20th August 2026
The higher education racket is being exposed in America as diminishing standards, collapsing public trust, and a cult-like, often unlawful devotion to DEI ideology pushes its mid-20th century model past the point of breaking.
For several generations, going to a premier public or private university provided a smooth path to success for most Americans.
Sure, plenty of people made money by starting businesses—and a handful of entrepreneurs became monumentally wealthy—but for most Americans looking to get going on a good, high-paying, rewarding career, going to college was the path to success.
Now that path isn’t guaranteed and hasn’t been for decades. Employers have begun to view degrees from once-prestigious schools, even advanced degrees, as irrelevant or a marginal advantage at best.
These overproduced pseudo-elites—many of whom are high on self-esteem but short on what they see as an equivalent paycheck—constitute the foot soldiers of the angry, fanatical DSA class.
The hordes of frustrated college grads will undoubtedly shape American politics in coming years. But what of the colleges and universities that produced them?
