LOL!
The hypocrisy of these people is incredible. In a radio interview, the Provost claims "we don't discriminate against Republicans."
Imagine the howls of protest if a Republican tried to explain away the absence of racial minorities by claiming "we don't discriminate against blacks, but for some reason we just don't seem to have any."
In fact, in the interview (which I just heard), the provost claims (paraphrase) "we don't hire on the basis of race, sex, marital status [etc.] either."
What a load of horse****.
Today's Ithaca Journal has a help wanted ad from Ithaca College that says, at the bottom: "Members of historically underrepresented groups (including people of color, persons with disabilities, Vietnam veterans and women) are encouraged to apply."
