Agreed. If this continues we might start treating people based on who they are vs their skin color. Unacceptable.

Fraternities and sororities don’t receive any school funding and aren’t officially affiliated with the school. They are private organizations.

Take a poll at the sororities and fraternities and ask them why the magazine was named Nineteen Fifty-Six and see how few will know.

DEI is a threat to the old boys' club way of doing business and getting ahead, which is why members of the old boys' club are so intent on crushing it. And then they'll continue to peddle the fiction that they got their positions of power based on "merit".

Confirms what we already knew: Alabama doesn't want black students -- unless they can play football.

And women, well, all these male students will need babymakers some day. And someone to have fun with until then.

Maybe they should rename the magazine Pat and then have articles about makeup for both sexes and about how masculinity culture hurts men in fields like childcare, as well as how misogyny hurts women in heavy metal. Would that be better?


No, they don’t give a shit about women’s sports. These are the same people who squawked about the end of the world when Title IX was being debated. They will sneer at the WNBA and female umpires.


Women's soccer, swimming, volleyball, pole vault, softball.

They should spend the rest of the school year focusing on non DEI topics; for example, cataloging Trump's crimes.

DEI perpetuates racial divisions rather than fostering unity.

Further, the mandatory DEI training required at most universities has been shown to increase prejudice among participants, rather than ameliorating the problem.


Racist/misogynist apologists are what foster division.


Minorities should have more rights than the majority in a democracy

If you read the rubric the professor specifically gave disagreement as an option.


This is a meaningless tangent.


+1.


Getting back on topic, why doesn’t everyone read the magazine in question, and then form an opinion?
