Most criticism is focused on the "D" -- diversity -- replacing the principle of meritocracy with racial criteria in hiring, admissions, and promotions.

He says the goal of equity is absolute equality in educational outcomes regardless of individual ability or effort.

The Soviet experience suggests real progress only when equity mandates lifted, he says.
