I think that, if it doesn't contain viewpoint diversity, DEI is a serious problem. I think it represents problems of social cohesion at the university for those people who want to represent divergent voices. They want to have different opinions.
With regard to someone who wants to do research on, for example, the possible negative impacts of DEI or whether it works, asking that from a perspective that is just genuinely open-minded and doesn't contain certain assumptions, life is difficult for such a person. I think it makes it very difficult at the university for those kinds of projects to get funded and for people to do research.
