Michigan = bad
Don't let your kids apply to it.

Please[/quote]

Right? As a Michigan parent, this is not going to matter. Michigan is still (like all the other top schools) going to be a huge prize. My kid is having the time of his life and getting a great education. People are always thrilled for him that he got in and is there. This article isn't changing anything.[/quote]

He may be assumed to be a "DEI" grad by potential employers. [/quote]

Yes, we lie awake nights concerned about our white, top grades, econ major kid being pigeon-holed in this manor.
But seriously, as others have posted, we have no regrets about part of the tuition money we've spent going to fund this experiment (if it even has - didn't see where the funds came from). Race relations in this country are fraught and complicated and Michigan is at least trying.[/quote]

DEI is breeding resentment and making this country evenmore divisive.[/quote]

No, the very fine republicans are butthurt that we are no longer automatically putting people on a pedestal just because they are old, white Christian wealthy males.

This is about republicans. It was an article in the New York Times about liberal Michigan students for goodness sake.[/quote]

No, the comment was around who was “breeding resentment and making this country even more divisive.”

No it wasn’t.  “DEI is breeding resentment and making this country evenmore divisive.“[/quote]
Tbf any discussion on race seems to offend white students today. Republicans are enforcing not teaching slavery because it “blames white people” and makes students feel sad. [/quote]

Except this discussion is about the efficacy and cost of DEI programs at Michigan. It’s not about republicans (this is a very blue state and a campus with very liberal students) and it’s not specifically about white students. I am not sure why it’s so hard to keep on topic.[/quote]
Because there’s not much to say?? Like great, mich is getting rid of dei, great.[/quote]
