Altimore selectively chooses his facts, kinda like he selectively decides what is discrimination. He is very discriminatory on what is discrimination, you'd say. And he owns the word apparently.
The PAC initially said it excluded BYU because BYU didn't fit their "values." That was the Prop8, gay marriage debate Era, a political milieu that got pretty heated, especially in California, with all things LDS suffering at the hands of the victors in the battle. People lost their jobs for merely being LDS in California, and in this case, it was clear BYU got excluded for the same "values" of...inclusion while in this milieu.
Of course, excluding a religion under the guise of Diversity and Inclusion "values" didn't quite sound right, so the PAC reformed its reason for excluding BYU and including its little brother. There wasn't much to go on for publicly acceptable criteria they could find to include a trailer park, open enrollment, school with no following or history, so when they saw UofU had a med school, "research institution" became the new, revisionist criteria under which this decision was made.
Tony, being gay, still has that axe to grind but is conscious somewhat how ridiculous he's sounded with the "inclusion by exclusion" line of argument, so he's gone hard at the BYU being racist and homophobic angle. He so wants this to be true that he's even recently retweeted the debunked Duke Volleyball Incident at BYU hoping people will grab their pitchforks and torches to join him, ironically, in the hunt for bigots. (Editor's note, this incident was when a Duke women's volleyball player in a losing match alleged the crowd was chanting the "N" word when a thorough investigation with dozens of witnesses and video footage debunked that claim)
