The haymaker is the most powerful punch in boxing. When it connects, it often ends a fight. Professor Stanley K. Ridgley’s “DEI Exposed: How the Biggest Con of the Century Almost Toppled Higher Education” is a literary haymaker aimed to knock out public acceptance of the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) phenomenon.
Ridgley’s latest book is a powerful denunciation of what he calls a “dystopian social fantasy.” He asserts DEI has severely damaged higher education and cost it millions of dollars. A university insider, the author is clinical full professor of Strategic Management at Drexel University’s LeBow College of Business. He holds a Doctorate and Masters’ degree in International Relations, Security, and the Soviet Union from Duke University and an International MBA from Temple University’s Fox School of Business.
