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!
Are they recruiting Michelle aka Michael for this position? She/He certainly fits their profile!
The presidency is not a trophy or a prize. It is not a symbol. There should be no talk of sex, orientation, race.
“Not acceptable? Condoleezza Rice already has been the provost at Stanford.”
I’m well aware of that. However, that was then, this is now. I doubt Rice would be acceptable today as President (or Provost)of Stanford to that group of protesting knuckleheads.
Whoopi Goldberg. We will die, but we will be mildly entertained in the process.
“Content of character” and not skin color is a distant phrase of a promised era...
Condi Rice?
Hmmm....doubt it
Answer to demands: Shove it up your...er...whatever.
These “people” are sick.
Treat them accordingly.
There is but one choice, to make the maximum number of heads explode.
Make Stanford Great Again: Hire Milo.
I demand a white, heterosexual male who is a registered Republican and owns at least ten firearms.
That guy would be a minority at Stanford!
Unfortunately, I don't think it is satire.
I used to think a lot of Stanford U.
I demand that the next President of the United States not be a lawyer.
The students think they are in charge - it is the people paying for the college, their parents and the taxpayers, who are the customers who should get the input in this process.
The left gives them platform and voice. Why should the stupid lazy and incompetent not be chosen for President of the UN?? Why do we discriminate against Down’s Syndrome people? SHouldn’t they get top government jobs??
The left operates under a system of oppression. There hasn’t been true oppression in 20 years, so they have to dig it up. White privilege, LGBT garbage is their new ‘oppressive’ state.
Let us be careful about being critical of the mentally ill, cause sometimes I have been accused of being one. With good cause, I might add. But I still don’t bite women on their lower lips.....well maybe some lower lips.
I hope parents are paying attention to what is going on at college campuses around the country. It’s a total waste of money. Actually, worse than that. It’s brainwashing that costs 40 - 50K a year.
Why would a flock of vultures require anything so hierarchical as a President or Provost.
Hyenas, either, for that matter.
Let the pomo vermin swarm as they will; the university is dead.
As a straight white married man, I guess I dodged a bullet by not taking that job last year at Stanford.
Your special victim/oppressed status is revoked if you are a conservative.
