Since 2004, San José State University (SJSU) has changed presidents nine times. Although each of these university heads was probably politically correct, the new president, Dr. Cynthia Teniente-Matson, is far more ideologically driven and intends to march us all, lockstep, into a future of diversity, equity, and inclusion. This shift includes mandatory language and behaviors that together abandon the previous mission of SJSU.
Teniente-Matson began her efforts by engaging in a “strategic recalibration” of the university’s mission statement, a process that involved adding vision and value statements. She has argued that the three new statements in question—mission, vision, and values—must unify the university and provide the “fundamentals of our purpose.”
In part, this action has been driven by the outcome of SJSU’s latest WASC (Western Association of Schools and Colleges) accreditation report, which came out in July 2022. The report flagged issues having to do with campus climate, including faculty fears concerning retaliatory action. These problems are likely associated with the criminal actions of former director of sports medicine Scott Shaw, who sexually abused dozens of female student athletes; retaliatory actions by former director of athletics Marie Tuite against whistleblower coach Sage Hopkins; and inaction by former president Mary Papazian, which allowed Shaw to continue his abuse and protected Tuite against allegations of retaliation. Papazian resigned after this scandal, which started before her arrival, spanned more than a decade, and ended with an FBI investigation and Shaw’s arrest.

That’s not education.
Cynthia Teniente-Matson. I’m going to guess she is another daughter or sister of Obeyme.

In name only.
Know all about this.
I used to have a colleague (he has passed) who used to lament to me about this.
If only picking the ponies was so easy…
...are already out of date. Management consultants were pitching this stuff in the late 1980s. Did it work? For enriching the 1% perhaps.
SJSU used to be a good place to get an engineering degree
