Barnard College Pledges New Hiring Policy Based on Race
Legal Insurrection ^ | February 4, 2017 | Aleister

Posted on 02/04/2017 3:17:43 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Only the left could get away with doing such a thing without being called racists.

The College Fix reports:

"College pledges to hire professors based on skin color, mandates social-justice workshops.

A women’s college is planning to hire new professors based on the color of their skin because of the “demonstrated benefits” of nonwhite faculty.

Whether such faculty benefit the college enough to be paid for a full teaching load remains to be seen, however.

After a year of deliberation, the Barnard College Task Force on Diversity and Inclusion released a set of draft recommendations last week with the aim of improving “representation, inclusion, and social justice” in the classroom and on campus.

Beyond hiring a new C-level official to oversee diversity efforts, the recommendations include mandatory social justice workshops for all community members and extra academic support specifically for racial minorities.

The effort is so expensive that Barnard, which is affiliated with Columbia University, will have to launch a new fundraising campaign to pull it off, as the recommendations acknowledge.

“A women’s college is planning to hire new professors based on the color of their skin because of the “demonstrated benefits” of nonwhite faculty.”

If degrees from this “college” had any value, they won’t anymore. If one comes across your desk, check the date of the degree...

Wanna bet the “departments” these folks will be hired into? Check your local departments contain “professors” (of dubious intellect) who can barely write a sentence without using the terms “white supremacy, racist, bigot, hate speech, etc.

A new Orwellian construct:

“Racism is tolerance.”

the Left:

All races are equal except when the Caucasians are worse.

All sexes are equal except when the males are worse.

Well, Barnard College has a long way to go. Most of their ‘notable’ Alumni ARE white chicks. The GUILT must be flaying them alive, LOL!

New policy?

Colleges/Universities have been ‘special’ hiring since the 1970s.

It is nothing new, except that now they are bragging about it.

I think the civil rights laws of the 1960s that the Republicans passed and LBJ signed make this type of race based hiring illegal.
