Illinois did that? Wow.
State lawmakers cut their funding and applicants are down, so what do they do? Why double down of course.
Diversity... equality make up your dang mind fool. I’m tired of this.
Time for everyone with a brain to transfer elsewhere.
Mizzou doubles down...
... the legislature cuts the state contribution to a big fat goose egg.
They just THINK attendance was down this year.
Wait till next year.
Parents it is time to STOP sending your children to these perverted indoctrination centers. We are funding them we need to stop and the university will die or conform to our liking
When I was in college in the 90âs, we had to take a course similar to this. I didn’t come from a rich family and had taken out loans, was working and had a scholarship. I knew just about everyone in my class, it was a small seminar of about 13 people. Every ethnic group, race, religion was represented. I was (am) a white Catholic girl and I quickly learned my place in the class was to sit down, shut up, and regurgitate everything I heard. Being young and stupid, that’s what I did. I had a very good friend who was black that talked about things from my point of view, because she knew that was the only way it would be heard in that class and she agreed with me. By mid semester she was shut down, too. I will never forget how I sat in that class being told how privileged I was, although that wasn’t the word used back then. My teacher decided it would be better if we had some classes at a local bar/restaurant so we would be more âcomfortableâ with each other, and she changed class time to evening hours. I told her I had to work, I needed to pay my tuition for the next semester. She basically accused me of lying and said if I didn’t show up I would fail. The next week I had to work and in walked the class. It wasn’t the original restaurant she wanted class held at, but I think she thought it was great I was their server. The teacher said I would receive credit for attending class because I was serving! The class, with teacher, basically laughed for three hours, ran up a $300 bill in mostly alcoholic drinks and left me a $5 tip and a huge mess to clean. Then they all got into their new cars and drove back to campus. I walked after staying late to clean up their crap. This went on for three weeks. I stupidly wrote my final paper about what she wanted to hear to keep my A average and scholarship. My black friend was mad, and used her paper to tell the teacher the class was unfair and how certain students were treated was wrong. She got a C. I felt bad about that. She told me don’t, if you would have written this paper you would have failed, and it needed to be said. We’ve been great friends ever since.
Didn’t we read an article recently that UM has experience a serious loss in enrollments because of their poor performance groveling to the BLM??
Why do I suspect that there won’t much “diversity” in the hiring of the Chief Diversity Officer?
They should advertise with “Whites Need Not Apply.”
I would like to see an honest audit of how much all of this social justice bullshit adds to college tuition. Who else but the students can be paying for all these advocacy flacks, diversity specialist, empowerment ninnies and other such crapweasels that colleges didn’t need until quite recently. I would also like to see what the federal and state governments spend on this kind of stuff The students end up further in debt to pay the added educational costs from these progressives run amok in the halls and on the quadrangles of academia.
In an afternoon session entitled "Restructuring the University," spokespersons summarized the thinking of the workshops that had taken place earlier that morning. Robert Steele, a Professor of Psychology at Wesleyan, noted that his group was aware that coercion would be required to change the university: "People will not be quietly assimilated to multiculturalism by truth through dialogue." They will have to be bought off as well as brought along. Steele described the terms of the deal: "You get research assistants, you give mentoring." In other words, using the largesse of Ford and other philanthropic institutions, advocates of multiculturalism convince the hesitant to join up by paying for research assistants. These assistants mentors of multiculturalism must be women or people of color. "We will have changed the university when women and people of color can see themselves running the place," Steele concluded.
It goes without saying that graduates from this university will be completely worthless in the job market.
The Old Line Commies are getting scared of the “Red Guard” they created. Dey b feeling da Bern.
