University officials told The Iowa City Press-Citizen that both programs have been so well-received, with full-enrollment in the “Justice for All” learning community, that demand for an actual degree-program on the topic makes sense.

“The proposed program will appeal to students who want a vocation related to helping others, or careers in government services or the nonprofit sector, but are not necessarily interested in teaching or social work,” a proposal for the program suggests, noting that there is no “specific degree program” at the university or in the state that provides “opportunities in these areas.”

I think we may finally have a real degree that is actually more worthless than the fictional degree of underwater basket weaving

As of now, the school does not anticipate that the program will require any additional costs, since it will be housed in the Department of Gender, Women’s, and Sexuality Studies, which could help persuade the regents to approve the new program during their Thursday meeting.

I just can't wait until these 'graduates' start working in government, which is the only place they would be employable

I would encourage everyone who gets such a degree to declare as much on linkedin - it will make my job much easier.

And every one of those "graduates" will be bitching about their student loans and expect those with real majors to pay them off for them down the line.

I can only imagine the vast number of companies hiring upon their graduation.

That is where companies will start looking for their next CEOs.

I have a staff. I would not employ anybody with such a stupid degree.

The work world needs technical skills and knowledge, not stupid assed feelings.

The gubment will probably require social justice compliant officers in all corporations at some time in the future.

I'm encouraging my son to get a degree in counseling and specialize in helping all the conservatives who get triggered and mentally distraught when they see words like diversity, person of color, or social justice. Those fragile flowers need help too.

Does this replace their theatre and unicorn equestrian studies degree programs?

If getting a degree puts you ahead people who dont shouldn't they all just drop out and get minimum wage jobs if they really want social justice?

Soviets had political officers in every military unit and industry.

I'm sure a degree in social justice will prove quite lucrative and enable said degree holders to pay back their school loans very quickly!
