this is such a perceptive point. It's all been reaction, scrambling to repair damage.

Exactly - damage control mode rather than stopping to reflect and bring the right people to help them plan. :/

it doesn't excuse the repeat errors, but I suspect they are overwhelmed by the volume of communication they are getting.

Nope, don't do that. URMs have said "hey we'll help" & been pushed away. This isn't just organizational chaos

I agree with you, I'm not minimizing the original issues, simply noting that they're probably also in over heads.

That's why they need to bring in the experts. :) They should have acted sooner, that's the problem. There's hope yet!

I get the feeling they are reluctant to bring in experts for fear of losing control/credit for march :-/

Yes, so bizarre. In other science endeavours - you get an expert, right? Why not with diversity? #marginsci
