Rowan argues Americans never voted on which identity groups would be valued, outsourcing the decision and forgetting individuals matter.
“We never got a vote in which groups were valued. We outsourced that. And so among the most un American things I'd ever seen happen, we forgot that people are actually individuals.”
Rowan argues universities institutionalized sorting people by group status rather than treating them as individuals.
“We afforded them lack of judgment of any action they had done based on their aggrieved status. And this became institutionalized in our universities.”
