UMich hiring admin for 'cultural appropriation prevention'
Campus Reform ^ | 28 July 2017 | Adam Sabes

Posted on 07/29/2017 9:32:25 AM PDT by Lorianne

The University of Michigan is looking for someone to clamp down on “students of concern” and “enact cultural appropriation prevention initiatives.”

UMich estimates that about 40 percent of the job will involve coordinating “bias incident response efforts,” which entails coordinating “appropriate and effective intervention and communication between multiple campus offices...and the provision of support to individuals and groups targeted by bias behaviors.” The Coordinator will also be tasked with managing the school’s “bias prevention initiatives and Expect Respect initiatives” by partnering with other departments to “ensure annual Expect Respect messaging begins in orientation programs,” assisting with various “divisional social justice initiatives,” enacting “cultural appropriation prevention initiatives,” and developing “strong working relationships with identity-based student organizations.”

In addition, the job comes with “critical incident case management” responsibilities when issues of concern arise within the school community.

When such incidents occur, the Coordinator is tasked with providing “a safe listening space in which to offer compassion, support, and guidance to students,” and in some cases is also expected to assist students “in locating and obtaining emergency funding in crisis situations.”

The modern university is a creation of the Western European culture, so to prevent cultural appropriation everyone of other ancestry must leave.

Now that they have someone to ‘manage’ things, cases will triple...

And the black girls will be angry they can’t straighten their hair anymore...

Foreigners need to learn to respect the traditions of indigenous peoples of Western civilization.

This is a counter assimilation movement which encourages divisiveness.

And still they cannot see the fascist timber in their own eye.

Just as a random example, would this ban on cultural appropriation extend to black bands who play instruments invented by Europeans, or minority customers who use banks not invented by their ancestors? Driving cars invented by white Americans and Europeans? Covering Beatles songs?

Hmmmmmm?

enacting “cultural appropriation prevention initiatives,”

I'm so sorry. The Catholic Church invented the modern university in 1000 A.D. with the University of Paris (nicknamed the Sorbonne). Since the University of Michigan has become so hostile to Western Christendom, we're going to have to take away your appropriation license. But I'm sure you wouldn't argue about that--after all, Gnostic psychos like you are very focused on principle and logical consistency.

Right?

Well, the university needs to ban the use of cell phones, automobiles, electricity, all devices powered by electricity, etc., etc., by most all minority students enrolled at UM.

And that’s the beginning.

does this mean African-Americans and Asian-Americans are not allowed to wear Blazers, collared shirts, chinos, and rep ties ?

Does this mean Greek Americans must wear those funny skirts ?

Scots americans kilts ?

German Americans lederhosen ?

Dutch Americans must only wear wooden shoes ?

With all of these social justice initiatives, no faculty will have time to teach what the students signed up to learn.

The progressive-left feed of the education bubble, which in turn is funded by massive debt, in our fiat, printed currency.

This is a university that has way too much money.

In 2015 they got $295.2 MILLION in tax money just from the state of Michigan.

I am sure I will hear from the bunch of cry babies on FR that work for universities about how I don't want any new tech advances because I think NO university should be given tax money.

Take your complaints, sit on them and spin until you throw up.

I am tired of money being taken from me at gun point for this nonsense.
