The situation makes sense once you start viewing DEI as a religious orthodoxy and its enforcers as the priestly class.

Heresy and heretics are usually extirpated with extreme prejudice, at least if they threaten the interests of the establishment. Fortunately the DEI bureaucrats at the universities cannot condemn people to death, but the big question is if the Western civilization can survive if its own sources of knowledge and truth are slowly converted into a secular equivalent of Pakistani madrasas, where articles of faith are mindlessly chanted.

Theocracies tend to become very ossified and ossified academy is worse than useless.
