'Reign of Terror' on Campuses Post-George Floyd and the Threat of AI Internalized Bias: Cornell Law Professor Bill Jacobson

"Group results are going to be baked into the system without any regard for the individual. And it's going to take place at such a deep level that it will be very hard to prove. The administrator at Cornell or Harvard or Yale can say, 'I know nothing about this. We don't discriminate. We're just using software that says it's bias-free. Don't sue me!'"In this episode, I sit down with Cornell law professor William Jacobson. Out of Cornell’s 1,700 faculty members, he is the only one openly conservative, and for over a decade has faced threats, harassment, and organized campaigns to eject him from the school."The one diversity that you will never hear implemented on campuses is diversity of viewpoint," says Mr. Jacobson.He is the founder of the Legal Insurrection blog and foundation, which exposes and takes action against DEI discrimination in higher education, medical schools, and the corporate world."When you look at these DEI statements, they not only require you to recite that you agree with this, they also want you to show how you have tailored your career to advance it," says Mr. Jacobson.We discuss the rise of critical race theory on college campuses and its spread to other institutions, and the importance of elevating the individual over group identity. We also dive into the recent Supreme Court ruling on affirmative action, and the threat of AI algorithms infused with DEI principles."Right now, we're on the cusp of this explosion of baked-in quotas through technology. Now is the time that people have to learn about it," says Mr. Jacobson.
