Anyway, I looked up Jennifer Hamer - it appears that her degree is in being a professor:
"Jennifer Hamer's general area of study is the sociological and interdisciplinary qualitative study of families, especially those within the United States. Within this broad field, her primary research interests are African American fathers, mothers, and families, especially those that are working class."
That's what I call RESEARCH!
Urgent message to Mom and Dad:
Think twice before writing that check this coming August.
“She is former Editor of Race and Society, the past official journal of the Association of Black Sociologists; founder and former Editor of Black Women, Gender, and Family; and founding Editor of Women, Gender, and Families of Color”
In other words, she has a worthless degree (like many other thousands of graduates) and only cares about skin color.
So a 'professor' of two imaginary, hyperspecific subjects is qualified to preside over a theoretically infinitely diverse student body?
It's like taking someone who can only make toast and making them head chef at Morton's.
The minority population of Kansas is about 13%. I suspect that at least 13% of the university's professors and students are minorities. So what is her point again?
Good thing race doesn’t matter.
The only role of such a “Dean” is to protect all black faculty and students from any form of legitimate disciplinary action, and to defend all ridiculous complaints from said groups. In other words, all black people at KU will now enjoy limitless immunity.
By lowering academic standards of course. Todays 4.0 gpa was yesterdays 2.0.
They’ve accomplished absolutely nothing in their lives. They are given a high-paying job to bring in other non-performers and to blame Whitey for their failures.
The University of Kansas has added a new dean to oversee diversity, equality, and inclusion for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
Not to oversee quality of course, quality of Professors, quality of the campus facility itself. No to oversee that all 57 genders are represented, that all religions (except Christianity) are represented, that all races, nationalities,skin colors, shades of skin colors etc. etc. etc. are excepted into the college. This of course has nothing to do with their qualifications grades wise.
Memo
Attention HR Department
Subject: “D & I” Madness
We had better think twice about doing any corporate recruiting at KU. We would be crazy to bring anyone on board, even as a summer intern, who is contaminated by the D & I madness. There is grave risk to our corporate culture of harmony, discipline, dedication to truth and hard work. These are values that are completely foreign to people who have this infection.

Both my kids graduated from KU in the 1980’s. Was a great school then, albeit much more liberal than K State.
