The University of Michigan has fired a director in its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion office owing to antisemitic comments she made to Jewish professors at a spring conference. The New York Times first reported the firing, which a person with insight into the university’s governing body confirmed to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency on Friday. The development comes amid widespread tensions over how Jews fit into DEI programs at universities and other institutions. The staffer in question, Rachel Dawson, was the director of an office for multicultural initiatives. She was officially fired on Thursday after multiple members of the school’s Board of Regents were angered by the university’s initially lax response to her comments, according to the source, who was not authorized to speak publicly about the incident. Dawson had privately remarked in March that “the university is controlled by ... Jews”; that “we don’t work with Jews” ...and and that “Jewish people have no genetic DNA that would connect them to the land of Israel,” .

The "Beauty" of racist DEI

[Phoenix8]

DEI has allowed the most low quality people to reach the greatest heights in the USA’s history. I’d bet on it.

And it is many, many jobs; Fed Government, colleges, city and state government, big corporations like Anhauser Busch (bud light) . They all hire people for these make believe fields like CRT, Gender theory, queer theory, affirmative action…etc etc.

And they can be near idiots that just follow the PC dogma and make GOOD Money doing it.

I hope they all get fired.

Glad to see her gone.

Good riddance!!!!

Did they fire her and send her down the road. Or did they just move her to another position? Because at that level, they don't get rid of incompetent individuals, they just announce they are fired and move them somewhere else.

Lefties hate it when you use their own book of rules against them.

Rachel Dawson, was the director of an office for multicultural initiatives.

How about eliminating that whole office? Too much? How about preventing tuition from funding it?

Criticizing jews can get you fired but blasting non-jew whites gets you a promotion.

Many, many years ago I interviewed for a job at a then-respectable firm in a reasonably large city, and the person who I would be working for wanted to hire me on the spot. There remained one more minor formality following the interview, meeting of the immediate staff and tour of the facility: a chat with the "head of HR." This was when most companies still used the word "personnel" rather than "human resources."

It was one of the most baffling and convoluted "chats" that I had experienced up to that point, and before it ended, I was pretty certain that no matter what my qualifications were, that job was not going to a small-town, white-bread, heterosexual man. To be honest, well before the end of the ordeal I had decided that even if this harridan somehow granted me absolution for even existing - an unlikely scenario - I was not going to take the job.

Just reading about Rachel Dawson, I feel like I have met her.

Was it in the 80s?

Was it in the 80s?

Late 80s or early 90s.

Considering what subsequently happened to that company, the woman inadvertently did me a very great favor.

Nothing in that picture surprises me.

Glad to hear that last part
