DEI director fired after rejecting ‘woke’ ideology speaks out: ‘I’m not going quietly’

A former director in the Office of Equity, Social Justice and Multicultural Education at a community college in California says she was dismissed earlier this month for criticizing her department’s narrow DEI philosophy and attempting to bring in more perspectives.
 

Tabia Lee served De Anza College in the role of faculty director since 2021.

“I’m not going quietly,” Lee (pictured) told The College Fix in a March 16 phone interview. “I cannot do that and I won’t do that.”

“My plans truly are to continue shining a light,” she said. “I am putting on a floodlight and I am telling all, because I feel like if the public knew what was happening on their tax dollars … I feel like there will be an outrage and a demand for change.”
