Another day, another DEI disaster. The same academic system that preaches “equity” and “inclusion” from the rooftops is quietly rotting from within. These so-called “diversity champions” are almost always hired for optics instead of skill, excellence, or merit. And as a result, one by one they’re being exposed for everything from plagiarism to outright abuse of power. It’s like watching the “House of Woke” collapse one phony brick at a time.

The latest disgraceful case comes out of the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, where President Heidi M. Anderson, a black woman who was once celebrated as a “DEI success story,” has crashed and burned, like so many before her. She was once the chair of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities and is now being accused of not only plagiarizing her own Ph.D. dissertation but also running her campus like a racist, anti-white machine.
These allegations are truly horrific. They claim that under Anderson, white employees were paid less, overworked, and treated like second-class citizens. They were like the modern-day “field hands” of academia, while less-qualified staff took credit for their work and were elevated because they checked some DEI box.

This is the dark reality behind “diversity” in our higher education system. Like we said earlier, these days, higher ed has zero to do with excellence and everything to do with charity. It’s like some failed social experiment where competence is punished, mediocrity is rewarded, and the shade of your skin dictates your worth. When people are hired for the color of their skin instead of the quality of their mind, a disaster will eventually follow… and that’s what’s happening right now in Ms. Anderson’s world.
The Daily Wire’s investigation into Anderson’s career paints a very dark and damning picture. According to their findings, she’s been coasting through the academic ranks for nearly forty years. Anderson has been climbing the academic ladder using weak research, sketchy ethics, and now, alleged fraud.
This all broke wide open when a former professor filed a lawsuit. Donna Satterlee exposed a culture where racial favoritism was part of the actual system. Satterlee says that Anderson not only stacked the deck in favor of low-skilled black faculty but also actively discriminated against white employees. She paid them less and dumped the hard work on them and gave the credit for their hard work to the unskilled minorities.
But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
The Daily Wire went even deeper and uncovered something really disturbing. It turns out that Anderson’s entire academic career may have been built on some very serious plagiarism. Her doctoral dissertation from Purdue University appears to contain entire sections that were “lifted” directly from another scholar’s work. We’re talking it was copied word-for-word, except she swapped out names and details to try to make it look original.

What we’re going to share with you is the Daily Wire breakdown of the evidence showing just how deep this deception and scandal goes. From stolen citations to duplicated research, what this investigation exposes is how an undeserving woman made a career preaching “equity” and who very likely earned her own achievements dishonestly.
A college president and former chair of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities plagiarized extensively in her doctoral dissertation, a Daily Wire review found.
Heidi M. Anderson is president of the University of Maryland Eastern Shore. For nearly four decades, she has climbed the academic ladder while producing an unremarkable amount of low-quality research.
Now, a lawsuit from a former Eastern Shore professor threatens to cast Anderson’s career in a startling new light. Donna Satterlee alleges that, under Anderson, low-skilled black faculty were hired based on their race and paid more than white faculty. The suit said whites were forced to do the work that black officials took credit for.
A Daily Wire review suggested that it could be a pattern that began with her 1986 doctoral dissertation for Purdue University, which kicked off her academic career.
Portions of the dissertation, which deal with the use of computers in pharmaceutical education, appear to be a repurposed and uncredited copy of a 1984 paper by Donna E. Larson, a professor of nursing, about the use of computers in nursing education, with simply the name of the field changed. The photos below show just the beginning of a lengthy section where Anderson appears to crib Larson’s eight points.
Note at the bottom that Larson cited a number of papers, including her own prior work. Anderson appeared to lift those citations, in order, but remove Larson’s citation to herself–perhaps to avoid leaving a clue that could unravel an academic crime. Larson’s name is not mentioned anywhere in Anderson’s dissertation.
Larson’s list had eight items on it, but Anderson had 12. The 10th item on the list also copied someone else’s words verbatim and without quotation marks to make a simple point.
When Anderson summarizes a book by Christopher Evans, she is actually copying someone else’s summary of Evans’s work, even though there is no parenthetical attribution in that section of the text indicating it. The summary on the right, by Richard E. Pogue, was from the introduction to the same journal issue where Larson’s paper appeared.
Likewise, Anderson appears to have simply taken the language of University of Texas medical professor Robert M. Caldwell, writing about computers in medical schools, and changed the name of the field. Caldwell does not appear in the references section of that chapter.
Even if just half of this holds true, it’s not just an embarrassment for Anderson; it’s a humiliation for every institution and group that promoted her. For decades, universities like UMES have treated diversity hires as trophies, praising and hero-worshiping unqualified, mediocre people because they fit a political quota.
And this humiliation is the price.
There’s so much more to this story. The Daily Wire went through that dissertation with a fine-tooth comb…
Startlingly, the conclusion of her original research also appeared to be copied from someone else. “These findings suggest that CAI can be as effective and efficient as a more traditional instructional modality in teaching both factual content and application of learned material when both methods use the same instructional content,” she wrote. That was virtually identical to a sentence that Elaine G. Boettcher wrote five years prior.

The good news is that President Trump is targeting the dangers of DEI from every possible angle, because we all know this is a very layered issue. One thing that’s become clear in our own look into DEI across academia is how real the “George Floyd effect” truly is. The cultural wave that created an even bigger rush to hire, promote, and celebrate mediocrity.
For years now, America’s elite universities have been operating like global cash machines. They’ve been raking in billions from international students while sneering at the country that made them rich beyond their wildest dreams. These Marxist-run institutions have built a toxic empire on two foundations: massive US government grants and sky-high tuition from foreign students desperate to buy a piece of the American dream. These two streams have created a perfect storm of anti-American hate and typical left-wing double talk… universities preaching “equity” and “anti-colonialism” while pocketing taxpayer dollars and foreign money hand over fist.

They’ve used that funding to build their ivory towers and bankroll their woke agendas, all while poisoning the minds of young Americans and foreign students, to boot. And while they’re busy indoctrinating students with anti-American nonsense, they’ve totally priced out many middle-class families who can’t even afford to send their kids to these so-called public institutions.
And these institutions have taken a real beating thanks to DEI. What were once esteemed universities have turned into playgrounds for mediocrity, the direct result of what we called the “George Floyd effect.”
[…]
Nowadays, Floyd’s popularity has dropped, which isn’t surprising. After all, George was a nine-time convict, drug abuser, and deadbeat dad. He also robbed a pregnant woman at gunpoint.
The “George Floyd effect” fueled a full-blown DEI frenzy across American campuses, where ideology suffocated merit and any real standards collapsed under progressive politics. As Floyd’s manufactured hero status fades and President Trump returns to office and threatens to cut the purse strings, the tide is now turning. The country is shifting back toward reality and excellence.
And this latest move from President Trump’s team is proof…
The Trump Administration just sent a clear message to these universities: if you want federal grant money, you’d better start putting America first. The new rule would cap international students at 15% of total enrollment, with no more than 5% coming from any single country.

Trump crushes final remnant of the ‘George Floyd Effect’ on America’s campuses…
The DEI rot goes deeper than one woman’s dissertation. It’s an entire ideology built on rewarding victimhood over virtue and excellence. It’s a weapon wielded to keep America very “mid.” Ms. Anderson didn’t rise in spite of the DEI system… she’s the perfect product of this rotten system. And now that the mask just keeps slipping down farther and farther, Americans are finally seeing what DEI really stands for: Deception, Entitlement, and Incompetence.
