Well that’s not very ‘inclusive’ of them.
Makes me so glad I retired from uni teaching and got the frak out before the sh*t just went utter stupid in academia......
Defund the universities.
Major University Eyes Forcing Professors to Pledge to ‘Diversity, Equity and Inclusion’ ...
OR they will not be included
When will this ever end?
UT of all places!
“obtained 322 pages of new diversity guidelines “
Houston, we have a problem .
These articles keep me going back & double checking to see if it’s from the🐝.
Our country has fallen & can’t get up.....
One more page taken directly from the annals of 1930’s German history. The universities were among the first to institute loyalty oaths. In 1933 Philosopher Edmund Husserl, who could no longer be published due to the anti-Jewish legislation and his own past political incorrectness, termed it the “materialistic-mythical racial prejudices of the day”. Sound familiar? His student and successor Martin Heidegger joined the Nazi party that year. These were, and are, universities that have always flattered themselves as bastions of free thought. Self-flattery is all that it is.
I remember taking a class in Western Civilization when I was in junior college.
These days, I imagine that type of thing might be banned or every chapter in the book turned into a class on systemic racism.
China’s Cultural Revolution is here.
The absolute worst return on investment, for at least 80% of enrollees, is a college degree.
When will the populace finally figure this out ?
This absolutely pervades throughout the military. In a couple years, the military will look like the student body of UC Berkley.
It’s halfway there now.
This time it is UT!
Sounds like a loyalty oath to me. Remember when those were considered bad?
As long as they let me define the meaning of “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion”, and apply it as I see fit, sure, I’d agree to that. The university would be VERY unhappy with the results, though.
Maoist.
Liberals policies are coming back to bite them.
How aprpopos.
My internal company website is now mentioning ESG scores and is littered with "employee resource groups" catering to all manner of minority interests. I miss the hardcore science/engineering company that was well run as an employee owned company. Taking it public invited in a broad range of populist corporate nonsense. I'm staying another year at this point. Hopefully the corporation doesn't crater under all of the SJW nonsense.
In 1949, during the Cold War, the Board of Regents of the University of California imposed a requirement that all University employees sign an oath affirming not only loyalty to the state constitution, but a denial of membership or belief in organizations (including Communist organizations) advocating overthrow of the United States government. Many faculty, students, and employees resisted the oath for violating principles of shared governance, academic freedom, and tenure. In the summer of 1950, thirty-one "non-signer" professors--including internationally distinguished scholars, not one of whom had been charged of professional unfitness or personal disloyalty--and many other UC employees were dismissed. The controversy raised critical questions for American higher education.It's ironic that the UC–Berkeley would later become the nexus of the "Free Speech" movement in the mid-60s. Loyalty Oath controversies spread from coast to coast in many institutions in the '50s and even before.[Read more here:]
