The University of Iowa has earmarked over $2.7 million for its Division of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for this fiscal year. The budget, a copy of which was obtained by The College Fix, spans nearly 70 different activities and spending categories.
Formerly known as the Chief Diversity Office, the division states as its goal achieving excellence through diversity, equity, and inclusion by providing leadership and resources to advance UIs diversity, equity, and inclusion goals, coordinating central diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, advancing recruitment and retention of faculty, students, and staff, enhancing a welcoming, respectful, and inclusive climate for all, and connecting with community diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts.
...
the largest single share of the $2.7 million is dedicated to the salaries of staff and personnel. Those expenditures total roughly $1.9 million.
...
$32,920 of the budget is designated for Institutional Membership Dues being paid to organizations like the National Center for Faculty Development and Diversity or Association of the Title IX Administrators
...
The offices digest offers further details of the divisions undertakings. Among those is a program called Better Hawkeyes, Better Men, which is dedicated to promoting healthy masculinity across campus, specifically engaging groups where students who identify as men come together. Another program distributes safer sex supplies inclusive of all sexual orientations to various locations around campus.

THEY ARE USING OUR TAX DOLLARS FEDERAL FUNDS TO DO THIS I BET, WE NEED TO REMOVE THESE FUNDS

Hallelujah!! Wait, is that an iceberg coming up on starboard? Don’t worry. She’s unsinkable. On to New York!
People totally unqualified to do anything at all except carp and complain and make life miserable for everyone except their ideological allies.

I think this is wonderful news. How much of the $2.7 million dollars did they set aside to advance the better treatment of white, heterosexual, Christian males?
I’m sure they set up an office just for that!
Tax dollars and hapless parents’ many sacrifices that led to enough money available for their child to go to college there.
Might as well have just bought the Mazda Miata and the trip around the Mediterranean.
That college is a waste of money.
Why not spend the money instead, on hiring great professors and offering useful classes for everyone?
As the commie role of Universities becomes ever more clear, there is LESS reason than ever to go to University.
In fact, it's important to NOT go to University.
Uh, pretty sure that’s $3 million on divisiveness. Colleges. Turning folks against each other for decades. Anyone griping about not enough white guys or AAs on the bb team or fb team. How about not enough AAs on the swim team? Grrrrrrrr! If they want to be serious, then their teams should be representative of the population break down of the country.
Diversity. Inclusion. Equity. (D.I.E.)
For those not familiar with the Big Ten, Univ. of Iowa is considered THE party school of the conference.
‘Nuff said.
It had a corner of the storage room behind the Inuit and Pacific Islander Suites. Had to close it down due to anonymous calls that it was racist and promoted toxic masculinity and white supremacy.
[on the swim team?]
I don’t know about the swim team, but apparently someone offers a spot on the rowing team, elsewhere, for $500,000.
;)
[Diversity. Inclusion. Equity. (D.I.E.)]
Well-played.
And for this we fought WWII to defeat the Germans who bombed Pearl Harbor?
[It had a corner of the storage room]
Well, I’ll bet they spent almost a dollar, though.
Iowa - home to the first islamic mosque in America!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother_Mosque_of_America
[The Mother Mosque is listed on both the Iowa State Historical Register and the National Register of Historic Places as an “essential piece of American religious history, which symbolizes tolerance and acceptance of Islam and Muslims in the United States.” It was listed on the National Register in 1996 as Moslem Temple.]
“the division states as its goal achieving excellence through diversity, equity, and inclusion”
The results will be mediocracy, division, discord, reeducation camps, and discrimination against the talented students.
This is nothing more than an institutionalized, backdoor quota system.
“essential piece......” Uh, not for me.
I wonder what it’s like to be a parent and send your kid to college these days. Lets just say you travel in the middle. A little to the Left on some social issues and a little to the Right on things like fiscal policy, borders, defense and law & order. Pay out the whazoo for your kid and they come back a deranged Leftist. Wonder what that’s like.
You have your kid. You want the best for them, but they get indoctrinated by some radical professors and classmates. Can’t see anyone wanting to pay for that kind of treatment.
I’m sure some folks want to disown some of them. Especially if you thought you raised your kid right.
“safer sex supplies inclusive of all sexual orientations”
What? Straight or gay, the man uses condoms. What “safer sex” supplies are they talking about?
“In fact, it’s important to NOT go to University.”
It’s become a place where you can literally lose your mind.
