Universities are socialist indoctrination centers.
Close the “ social science “ crap, and the “ diversity outreach “ offices, and maybe you’ll have a chance to survive.
And at many universities and colleges, the "Diversity and Inclusion" administrators are making BIG bucks. I am talking $300-$500K a year.
The Social Equity officer at the university where I work puts out training videos every 6 months or so to teach us not to sexually harass anyone and to conform to Title IX requirements. We’re also given indoctrination on thinking correctly about race, inclusion, LGBTQ+ issues, etc. She’s sent university-wide emails about wearing goofy socks to celebrate disabilities day and denim to show our support for efforts to combat violence against women. (This as the university faculty was struggling with how to redesign their classes to keep students studying in the suddenly totally online environment.) A more useless person and position I’ve never seen.
When jobs open, she reviews all job announcements to make sure they’re politically correct. She also looks at how every search is conducted to make sure protected groups are included in the list of finalists. I’m sure she makes far more than the janitors who keep the buildings repaired and clean. Their jobs are far more difficult and important than hers.
Fire these equity officers and save lots of money. Don’t lay off the truly useful people.
