With revenue plunging, Mizzou to spend $1.1 million on diversity audit
Fox ^ | 5/27/2016

Posted on 05/27/2016 5:17:29 PM PDT by Altura Ct.

The University of Missouri, which was rocked by race protests last year that toppled its two leaders, caused its biggest donors to retreat and dampened interest among prospective students, will spend more than $1 million to audit its diversity policies.

In addition to the $1.1 million audit, the UM System also plans to spend $2 million on other diversity initiatives, including the hiring of a chief diversity officer and systemwide task force, the Missourian reported earlier this week.

IBIS Consulting Group will conduct the comprehensive audit, interviewing students, professors and staff on all four campuses in the UM System, according to a news release.

“This assessment will help us understand where we stand in comparison to our peer institutions and best practices in higher education,” said Michael Middleton, the interim president, who assumed the position in November after the protests forced the resignation of Tim Wolfe.

In late April, Heat Street requested a comprehensive breakdown of Mizzou’s new expenditures on diversity, equity and inclusion, but it has not yet received a response, despite numerous follow-ups.

Several Mizzou students told Heat Street that while a handful of racist incidents on campus in recent years disturbed them, they do not believe there’s a systemic problem.

I am ashamed. I know the Mizzou well (from the past) and this disgusts me.

It is all on governor Nixon and the trustees he has selected to run the school into the ground.

Progressives 'splain away failure with had waving and knowing smiles. Its not their fault but the fault of the lowly peons who can't make utopia up out of whole cloth. Maybe its time the schools turn into something besides degree granting institutions.

Doubling down on stupidity. See ya Mizzou. Whites are transferring to other colleges so now the black snowflakes can enjoy all the safe spaces they want.

Definitely need more diversity:

Exposing Detroit's "No School Administrator Left Behind" Program

"Federal investigators revealed another blow to Detroit Public Schools this week. Meet Carolyn StarkeyDarden - the system’s former grant-development director - who has just been charged on suspicion of obtaining nearly $1.3 million by lying about children’s tutoring services. As The Burning Platform's Jim Quinn rages, this is called the “No School Administrator Left Behind” Program."

Now that we have such diversity in the federal government and the 'federal investigators' are probably AA hires themselves...I expect very little to happen.
The perp will probably be suspended with pay and gather additional retirement benefits during the extended trial.

Nixon showed his true colors when he made highly prejudicial politically motives “speech” re Officer Darren Wilson and The Gentle Giant. Then when, oops, the evidence came out that the rest of us knew would come out, Nixon crawled back into his little hole.

So much for any VP talk, you pandering idiot

We need to break out all of those old “Impeach Nixon” bumper stickers.

Trust me, Mizzou, the problem with declining numbers of students IS NOT because of a lack of diversity.

You have a minority which seems to be ablt to do whatever they want by hollering “racism”, even to the point of getting respected faculty members and the President to resign.

Parents don’t want to send their kids into that.

The scope of this misreading of happenstance is mind boggling. It almost has to be intentional.

They honestly don't get it.

They are pouring kerosene on the fire and wondering why it isn't putting the fire out.

I wonder if anyone has suggested that they “stop digging”.

No problem!

Change the focus of the school.

The University of Missouri, soon to be, a historically black university!

And all but two of the “several racial incidents” were hoaxes perpetrated by the “aggrieved” snowflakes.......Especially that of Journalism Professor Cynthia Frisby who made up stories about being called a N many times by townspeople and fellow faculty. . . .and not one ounce of investigation by the U or the J-School. Gee, wonder why?

The real racism was this BS, the fake hunger strike by a millionaire;s brat , the fake Poop Swastika, and a lie about the KKK on campus tweeted by the student body Prez who also happens to be radical racist and homosexual

Not one bit of discipline to any of them. But the white guys, yeah, they’re gone, to be replaced by career Affirmative Action Jacksons.

Let’s change the name of the Un. of Missouri from MIZZOU to “You Owe More Money” for its students and their paying parents.

I think another good name for Un. of Mo would be “YoMoma”.

How about “UBSTUPID”? Getting a BS in Diversity/Genders studies is like a duck getting a driver’s license.

It looks like the liberal plan is to do something like this:
