[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“ The progress we’ve seen from our efforts over the past decade (including increasing new Black enrollment by 13% over the past year alone and 87% over the past five years) is due to these collaborative efforts. That doesn’t mean we don’t have more to do. In contrast, those who seek to dismantle DEI offices and activities offer no alternative solutions and have no plans to use any “resources saved” to improve the lives of Black students or other minoritized communities. (In fact, when DEI programs have been dismantled, the resources are more likely to go to functions and groups other than minoritized ones).

So, let’s be very clear: those critics (like Heritage) who say they want to dismantle DEI work because they care about Black or minoritized students are gaslighting you.”

Well let's just hope they get rid of the waste.

I [b]mean 250 MILLION.  WTF?[/b]

Howard university's annual budget is $200 million
Morehouse is $160 million
Spelman is $140 million

I don't think there are any HBCUs that have a budget higher than $250 million

There are a handful of HBCUs that are under great economic strain.  
Meanwhile, Michigan is spending this kid of money to remind white people to feel guilty about slavery.
Just give the money to the HBCUs and you'll be doing more good.

It was over 8 years and much of it included scholarship money.

“For instance, while the reporter frames our DEI programs as primarily focused on race, he overlooks that [b]much of the “quarter billion” U-M has invested in DEI over the past eight years (from a $12 billion annual budget) goes toward socioeconomic access and financial aid programs like the GoBlue Guarantee. This program has been key in recruiting students from across Michigan, particularly white students from rural counties.[/b]”
