TCU is planning to establish a “Cabinet-level” position after a group of students sent a letter to administrators demanding efforts to improve campus inclusiveness and diversity, the school announced this week. The position would “lead efforts regarding diversity and inclusion and providing additional training for all students, faculty and staff,” a university statement said. University spokeswoman Holly Ellman confirmed that administrators received a list of 14 demands in a recent letter from the Black Students and Allies of TCU. The students have met with administrators over the last several weeks.

It couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of people. I recently attended a football game at TCU and the fans were the rudest, trashiest, most ignorant people I have ever encountered at a sporting event. I hope they enjoy their diversity.

When the become employees of a Fortune 500 company, they can organize a group of employees and send the CEO a list of their demands.

It seems absurd now but, mark my words, it will happen eventually. And they will be backed up by FedGov.
