Isn’t this the bridge that was designed by an all-female engineering team?
Minority contract wasn’t a cause was it?
Bingo. There are always technical flaws to be found in such disasters; what goes unexamined in nearly 100% of cases is leadership and administration.
Perhaps the real culprit was a politically correct minority hiring program that was aggressively pushed by a left-leaning University administration, that resulted in hiring a professional firm with a history of involvement in bridge failures. No matter - they checked their minority box.
Couple this with an accelerated completion schedule pushed by the school (for what valid reason?) and a wheelbarrow full of hubris and braggadocio.
Let’s not forget the University president on the day of ribbon cutting boasted “we don’t build walls we build bridges” (paraphrase) an obvious slam to our Republican president. Same guy who probably pushed aggressive minority hiring practices.
