Univ. of Michigan adds required diversity courses to business school curriculum
CampusReform.org ^

Posted on 11/19/2015 10:04:31 PM PST by matt04

The University of Michigan has added a three-year diversity requirement to its Ross School of Business undergraduate curriculum that, among other things, will teach their students how race, gender and sexual orientation “connect to larger systems of power, privilege and oppression.”

The classes, which include “Identity 101” and “Entering into, Engaging with and Exiting Communities across Difference”, are mandatory for graduation and emphasize “identity, diversity and experience,” said Lynn Wooten, associate dean for undergraduate programs.

...

The three-year program takes place over the sophomore, junior and senior years, focusing on “identity, diversity, and organizations,” in each respective year. The program is in its first year and only has the sophomore requirement in progress.

“Identity 101” explores how race, gender and sexual orientation “connect to larger systems of power, privilege and oppression,” the course description states. “CQ Assessment Workshop” is on cultural intelligence with a focus on “the skills and capabilities needed to succeed internationally and in multicultural situations.”

This has become a very very silly country.

I hope it can be undone.

You can bet that Chinese business schools have NO time at all for this idiocy!

“Diversity,” as promoted by the Liberals, does not exist in the real world. Diversity only exists through force. If a future President would end “Affirmative Action” through executive action (Thanks, Obama, for showing us the way!), life would go back to normal.

Academic extortion. The grievance-mongers can only get students for their courses at the point of a gun.

Frank,

that’s the word. IDIOCY!!!

We look like IDIOTS!!

so God @@@@@@ touchy feely in this country.

Someone has to say ENOUGH.

I would like Trump or Cruz to comment on these issues.

Perhaps they are afraid it will isolate some? doubt they would have gotten those votes anyway.

White male students need to carry out a huge protest against this. But they won’t. If they’ve gotten as far as U Mich, then they are idiot Millenials who are already brain dead.

Back in the day, U. Michigan used to be a very good school. Now that they have caved in to jumped-up hooligans, and those extra courses will cost innocent students extra MONEY, I think it's an indication that their administrative positions have been filled by libtard IDIOTS.

What sensible adult allows an institution to kowtow to the demands of some rude spoiled brats?

The schools of engineering, Physics, and Math will be the latest ones to require diversity training.

Thank God I got my MBA in 2000 from George Washington. I thought our law course was a bit on the liberal side and I even had a judge as the professor, but this is nothing close to what I went through.

re-education camps. Teachers will work to turn all students into Maoists when one graduates

And as a parent, I am not going to send my child to that school, nor am I going to pay for such degeneracy. Michigan is in an echo chamber of a failed business model.

This will backfire. Students compelled to take courses in which they do not believe will not react well to the subject matter.

And they expect students to pay through the nose for this nonsense. All of these schools are committing academic suicide.
