Black faculty, administrators, and staff at Michigan State University are angry at the selection of a white woman as the school’s new provost.
It’s a “travesty,” wrote MSU Black Faculty, Staff and Administrators Association President Eunice Foster about the hiring of Northwestern University’s Teresa Woodruff.
According to the Lansing State Journal, Foster also said many in the black community consider it “unbelievable,” “outrageous,” “unconscionable,” “shocking,” and “appalling” in her letter to MSU President Samuel Stanley Jr.
“To those of us seeking a just, inclusive, and equitable campus,” Foster wrote, “this appointment is a misjudgment of what Michigan State University…needs now, given the abysmal state of race relations both on campus and in the nation.”
The Journal notes Woodruff miffed students at Northwestern for allegedly “ignoring the concerns of underrepresented students.” According to the student paper The Daily Northwestern, students wanted Woodruff canned for this fact as recently as March.
Woodruff beat out Rutgers’ Wanda Blanchett and the University of Houston’s Antonio Tillis, both of whom are black and specialize in race issues. Foster noted the two runners up also have experience as “healers,” while Woodruff “only has experience working with white women.”

MSU announced Woodruff’s appointment [last] Monday. She’s an expert in ovarian biology and reproductive science and coined the term “oncofertility” in 2006 to describe the merging of oncology and fertility. It’s a medical discipline now recognized around the world.
Guess she's at least somewhat bright. Think up a new word, become known world wide. Good luck young lady. Any bets on how long she lasts? And, what if, oh the horror, she's not a glbtqrpxyz?
Isn’t this RACISM??? BLATANT RACISM!!
Political correctness has ruined American universities and colleges. The search for truth has been replaced by a state of chronic delusion.
Democrats and liberals specialize in hypocrisy. They’re are better at it than the top Quantum Physics scientist. Satan’s gotta be proud of his graduates from the Destroy Humanity graduate school.

The I recommend they all quit in protest.
Maybe Mel Whattiz Name, the football coach who stiffed Colorado could join the chorus
I am betting the word “healer” as used here does not follow the conventional definition.
It’s a “travesty,” to hire a white woman.
just wow.
Welcome to how the distorted, deranged left runs things.
This is why socialism fails....because they do not select the best, but because they select who is loyal to those in power.
Could someone tell me what is the level of melanin pigmentation is necessary to have qualified fort he posting?
We could return to the Jim Crow era laws that had Tennessee adopted such a “one-drop” statute in 1910 and Louisiana soon followed.
Then Texas and Arkansas in 1911, Mississippi in 1917, North Carolina in 1923, Virginia in 1924, Alabama and Georgia in 1927, and Oklahoma in 1931.
During this same period, Florida, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, and Utah retained their old “blood fraction” statutes de jure but amended these fractions (one-sixteenth, one-thirty-second) to be equivalent to one-drop de facto
What’s the problem here... can’t this white provost just apply some black[face] makeup, and then we’re good?
Geez, the left can be so picky these days.
“...MSU Black Faculty, Staff and Administrators Association President “
Hey, Eunice, how about best candidate wins?
when will Caucasian, Asian, Hispanic rat voters wake up to the racism directed at them?

There is an Asian Faculty Association. It's called the "Chemistry Department."
Only one year as HC. DC @ Georgia
Not sure about his abilities. That’s a decent resume but maybe the Spartans couldn’t get “Their Man” altho DAntonio was ooutta there at a bad time. Seems like Tucker had “assured” CU days, if not hours, before taking the job
In today's academic environment that doesn't mean much.
At least Woodruff has a real scientific background, as opposed to the other candidates who are of the racial studies school of thought.
If the faculty members are really that upset, there are plenty of other institutions where they can ply their identity nonsense.
