... the university has built the largest D.E.I. bureaucracy of any big public university.
Michigan has invested nearly 250 million dollars into D.E.I. since 2016
The number of employees who work in D.E.I.-related offices or have “diversity,” “equity” or “inclusion” in their job titles reached 241 last year
Michigan has struggled to improve Black enrollment — and students overall feel less included, not more.
The percentage of Black students, currently around 5 percent, remained largely stagnant as Michigan’s overall enrollment rose — and in a state where 14 percent of residents are Black.

Addressing a problem that doesn’t exist is a sure fire way to create that problem.
Maybe the blacks are smart enough to know you don’t need college to get through life. More jobs,less college.
Maybe not.
And that is the sole purpose of most of our government at this point.

D.I.E. = leftist feel-good program destined to fail miserably.
EVERY SINGLE COLLEGE IN THE USA NEEDS TO USE MERIT & ONLY MERIT TO ADMIT STUDENTS.
WHEN A COLLEGE STUDENT NEEDS REMEDIAL READING & MATH-—THEY ARE STEALING A SEAT FROM ANOTHER—MORE QUALIFIED-—STUDENT.
