Campus Reform | Duke official apologizes for being ‘insensitive’ to CCP
A DEI officer at Duke University’s Pratt School of Engineering recently apologized to students and staff for being “insensitive” to the communist “government of China.”
In an email commemorating the Lunar New Year, Quaina M. Tyson, Pratt’s assistant director of DEI programs and initiatives, had apparently suggested that Tibet was a separate country from China.
“The Lunar New Year is a collection of holidays celebrated in culturally unique ways throughout Vietnam, Korea, China and Tibet,” Tyson wrote.
Campus Reform obtained Tyson’s Jan. 25 email to the Pratt community in which she acknowledged that “Tibet is part of China and not a separate country.”
In the email, she described her original characterization of Tibet as being an “incorrect and insensitive statement to the Chinese community and the government of China.”
The role of DEI seems to be to grovel to the CCP while castigating any students or faculty who show signs of incipient Americanism. Who knew.
