Several Harvard professors have publicly criticized or opposed mandatory Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies, particularly the requirement for DEI statements in hiring and promotion. Notable names include:
Randall Kennedy (Harvard Law School): Kennedy, a self-described scholar on the left, has called for Harvard to abandon mandatory DEI statements, describing them as "ideological pledges of allegiance" that threaten intellectual discussion and academic freedom.
J. Mark Ramseyer (Harvard Law School): Ramseyer has directly critiqued Harvard’s DEI system, arguing that it has amplified cancel culture and fostered self-censorship through speech codes inconsistent with free expression.
Steven Pinker (Department of Psychology): Pinker has raised concerns about the prioritization of DEI over academic freedom and has advocated for reforms to enhance free inquiry on campus.
Jeffrey Flier (Harvard Medical School, former Dean): Flier has also criticized the university’s DEI policies, expressing concerns about their impact on academic freedom and open debate.
These professors have voiced their opposition in public forums, op-eds, and through their involvement with groups like the Harvard Council on Academic Freedom, which seeks to promote open discourse and institutional neutrality.
