“Race is not an issue until someone decides to make it an issue.
So of course they do just that.”
If you hire enough diversity you need to have something for them to teach. Hence the rise of Grievance courses that teach victimhood instead of anything useful. I wonder if it counts as a “science” course toward their degree.
My daughter is a faculty member in a science dept at a prestigious university on the Left coast. The school has an agreement with a historically Black college to take interns over the summer to get experience and credit. Two labs in her dept were pressured to take these interns. They both were unable to be complete the most rudimentary tasks without assistance even after being shown how to do them multiple times. Even weighing out materials to make solutions was beyond them. They ended up just hanging out in the lab or cafeteria with their phones and then at the end of the internship had the nerve to ask for recommendations.
