An activist group at Stanford University is demanding that white people — as well as men of any race who are not transgender — be forbidden from being appointed as the school’s next president or provost.
“We demand that the next appointment to the position of president and provost of the University break both the legacy of white leadership and cisgender male leadership,” states a document that the group, called the “Who’s Teaching Us Coalition,” released on Tuesday.
Note that the students are demanding that “both” of these leadership legacies be dismantled — which means that neither a cis, black gay man nor a transgender white person would technically be “diverse” enough to qualify.
Among the other demands? “The development of recurring and comprehensive identity and cultural humility training to be instated as a requirement for all faculty in all departments by September 21st, 2017,” a “dedicated, responsive platform for reporting and tracking microaggressions from faculty” and “the hiring of at least 10 additional tenure-track ethnic studies professors and a commitment to the retention of these professors, prioritizing underrepresented groups within the ethnic studies programs.”
Oh, and of course, “adequate staffing and funding to achieve all of the aforementioned demands.”
According to an article in Campus Reform, the group released its demands after a draft of them was leaked by The Stanford Review, the school’s conservative newspaper.
In any case, it’s certainly a good thing that WTU released them sooner rather than later, because the document also demands “that the Administration immediately accept the aforementioned demands and that a statement of acceptance, a timetable of implementation of each demand, and an administrative point person for each demand, be presented to WTU at 3 pm on Friday April, 8th in open forum at the Native American Cultural Center.”
That’s next week, folks!
Welp. I guess they’d better get crackin!
How about all students and teachers be held to the same standard while maintaining the same admissions qualifications. No more quotas.
Condolleeza left the Bush Administration and never looked back. And won’t.
Insanity on Steroids

Not acceptable? Condoleezza Rice already has been the provost at Stanford.
Odd that the word ‘competent’ never seems to enter the lexicon of the Lefties spouting demands in edumacation.
What these liberals are saying is that they cannot compete with white males. Liberals are too stupid.
I guess the disease has spread from UC - Berzerkley...
It's getting closer to the time a vengeful populace ought to burn these institutions to the ground, and hang everyone we can catch who is associated with them.
That fits the agenda of National Review as well.
The voices of bigotry and sexism making demands.
They should be ashamed of themselves
The deviants keep inventing new ways to replace higher education.
...development of recurring and comprehensive identity and cultural humility training...
Here's your 'cultural humility,' in .40 caliber, if that's your choice...
I’d go and find one single nutcase transgender ex-wrestler and give them the job. These people deserve that level of management.
Would Michelle Obama meet three of those criteria?
What’s the beef (err... tofu). Our current president is ALL those things.
I have no need for humility. My peoples footprints are on the Moon.
Me too. I thought as a high quality private research university they kept this kind of crap out. How did it get into Stanford ?
If you explore their majors....
You will see a lot of “African Studies”, “Asian Studies”, “Latina Studies”, “Comparative Studies in Race” etc alongside the stuff that Stanford is known for.
“An activist group at Stanford University is demanding that white people — as well as men of any race who are not transgender — be forbidden from being appointed as the school’s next president or provost.”
So they want the university to get slapped with huge fines for violating federal employment discrimination laws???
LOL!
