[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Malcolm X was right, guilt ridden UMC white libs are the worst. Always "whitesplaining" to us black "folk" cause it makes them "feels" good to be the white knight. As a black person reading some of these posts it's really something to behold. [/quote]

Do you think racism exists in the US today?

If so, do you think it should be addressed? How? 
[/quote]

Probably not by sending a bunch of emails and surveys to disaffected students again and again the way Michigan does.[/quote]

You’re minimizing the work they’ve done over the last decade, including better representation in faculty.

You mean they've mau-maued the faculty into regularly hiring less qualified candidates and made everyone sign terroristic "diversity statements". Yeah good job.[/quote]
Do you know what terrorism means? It takes like 10 minutes for a faculty applicant to write how they’ve mentored a student of color before. It’s not an unreasonable demand. [/quote]

Harvard dropped the forced Diversity Statements for new faculty hires. I'm sure other schools will follow and abandon the performative DEI nonsense if they haven't already. The NY Times putting the spotlight on the University of Michigan and how it squandered a quarter billion dollars with nothing to show for it will only accelerate the end of DEI in academia. It's done far more harm than good, not to mention the colossal waste of resources that could have been used elsewhere.  [/quote]
