LOOSE ENDS (144)
Powerline ^ | 12/06/2021 | Steven Hayward

Remember stories like this from the 1990s (or for that matter from 1980 about Reagan, age 69 at the time)? Remember all the stories like this last year about 77-year-old Joe Biden? Me neither.

Mark Perry has struck again, finding that Ohio State University—I mean, THE Ohio State University—has a diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI, but really “DIE” if you arrange the letters accurately) staff of 132, with an average salary of $77,000 and total estimated payroll cost of $13.4 million, which would cover in-state tuition for 1,120 students. Here are the first 34 officers—notice not only the salary levels but the overlapping and seemingly redundant titles:

"....So I repeat my simple, two-step reform idea for public universities: State legislatures should pass a simple law that the total staff (including outside consultants) or DIE offices can be no larger than the faculty of the university’s History department; second, no DIE staff person may receive a salary higher than a full tenured professor. Incidentally, Ohio State drastically underpays its senior DIE staff compared to other universities that I’ve seen....."

This is screaming BS! Sinecures for idiot woke pimps. My simple one step plan is fire these people.

Interesting statistics - maybe 9 out of 34 are male, the first male appears as the 11th highest salary, names tell me most of the women are POC. Seems a strange mix for a job that claims to be all about diversity & inclusion. Looks totally opposite of that, IMO...

Do you know something about James in the 3rd slot that I don’t?

Still your basic point stands

What do these people actually do other than draw a salary and take up space?

It appears I’m guilty of skimming right over James so apologies all around are in order...except for James who is little more than a low-life grifter cashing out of the school’s till.
