I don’t think him not being an educator would be an impediment.

So you’d support a CEO that had never worked for a corporation if your stocks depended on it?

Running a large university is similar to being a CEO. Many academics do, unfortunately, not have that type of experience. Mitch Daniels was not an academic before he became president of Purdue.

Yet most successful college presidents had a career in higher education before becoming a college president. Kind of like most successful principals were first teachers and those that were not are normally resented by teachers.

The significant majority of them are academics. But the entirety of academe has issues with controlling cost. Academis are ill equipped or inclined to deal with that.

For profit colleges are shit, so I’m not sure that what you’re implying is a good thing.

Controlling cost. Nothing to do with for profit.

More RWNJ drivel from you. You want to “control cost” for everyone unless it benefits you and your kids. In other words, more cuts for the poors, but not for Chad and Zoe!

No. U.S. higher education is the most expensive in the world, many are questioning its value, and we have a huge issue with loan repayment. There is a cost issue.

That’s because US higher ed was considered the best in the world, at least until now. Tons of rich internationals willing to pay full freight. You’re welcome to opt out if you can’t afford it or don’t see the value, lots of people will take your place. Move along now.

In 1990, the U.S. led the OECD in higher education attainment. Now it is in the bottom half. This issue pre-dates Trump by decades. Rich internationals paying full freight are a rounding error. Costs have been out of control.

Wheelchair ramps are ADA, not DEI.

ADA compliance frequently falls under DEI depts, dumbass.

If it didn't, it would still have to fall somewhere because it is law.

There was a segment of old people who were upset that a ramp was installed on the UVA Lawn a few years ago because it wasn’t in line with Jefferson’s design or something.

They know exactly what they are pushing for.

If you are concerned about costs there are several states now offering free community college.

Wheelchair ramps are ADA, not DEI.

So much ignorance.

+2 how do people not realize this is ADA?

Then you’d be willing to pay more taxes to support free college. Easy fix.

To quote a redditer because they said it best:
“I like to think of it like this: physics existed before Newton wrote his laws of physics, but now we know all about gravity and potential energy, etc.

Saying, "that's not DEI, that's the ADA" is a lot like saying "that's not physics, it's gravity!" DEI existed in principle before it was ever labeled "DEI," and from that school of thought came things like the ADA. The fact that it's been labeled "DEI" doesn't change the fact that it's been part of a movement.”

It is bloated. You can only think about who pays.

UVA is going to be shifting towards more female, more NoVA, more affluent student body without DEI.

More MAGA. More Asians. Only two groups who don't care about a diverse student body.

You are just deflecting from the point that if a DEI office is disbanded, it doesn't mean ADA and ADA compliance will go along with it.

Look at what happened at UF. It’s stunning UVA might be going down that path.

Yikes. I’m glad this happening now before my 2026 grad applies. We are OOS and no way will pay $$$ for right wing propaganda

Right. 2026 grad tool it off her list. Saved us $75.
