U of Iowa looking to create social justice bachelor's degree
Campus Reform ^ | September 8, 2016 | Anthony Gockowski

The University of Iowa could become the first school in the state to add a bachelor’s program in social justice to its list of degrees, provided its Board of Regents approves the motion.

Currently, the school already offers a first-year seminar on social justice as well as a “Justice for All” living learning community where students can live and “learn about systemic problems in our society.”

Wonderful another useless degree program joining the ranks of [Insert] Studies. At least these graduates will know which platitudes to write on Starbucks cups when the only job they will qualify for is being a barista.

Not after they are all automated.

social justice bachelor's degree

Well, combine that with a minor in Gulag Design, and you might have something there.

This is great news!

Now I know what my undergraduate degree will be. Before I go on to get my Masters in Puppetry.

Is Iowa that liberal? Maybe the state legislature could specifically deny money to the university to fund such a ridiculous degree.

Well, there's one of the systemic problems, right there.

This is at The Onion, right? Else, if you are a UofI grad, you better contact that Board of Regents and let them know that you’d like them to not devalue your existing degree like that. Wow.

There are always plenty of low-paying jobs for people with no marketable skills.

Correct.

That’s the problem. I have heard that people whe get a ‘degree’ in Native American Studies are among the most insidious and intrusive liberals to walk the face of the earth...I have heard it said that all major schoolbook publishers have one or more on full time staff.

These SJW graduates would just be more of the same.
