I made a tragic career mistake. I taught at Arizona State University in Tempe. But the intensity of the sun finally got to me (melanoma) so we decided to head back east. I landed a job at George Mason University in Fairfax. I only knew of the economics and law faculty. Turns out the business school is terrible by national standards.
But DEI was happening the entire time I was there. It was getting crazier and crazier. At one faculty meeting, the Dean of the Business school asked everyone to tell an embarrassing story about themselves. I refused. I said “Can you imagine faculty at a top ten business school like Chicago doing something like this??” I walked out.
Our Associate Dean was gay. She had the business building filled with “Want to know what gay life is life?” IOW, a dating site for gays pushed by The Dean’s office. I protested to the Provost. The signs were taken down, but i paid a price for standing up.
GMU is a clown show, particularly the business school.
Thanks for posting the realities at GMU.
What year/s did the DEI$ happen?
