Weren’t they doing this shite already?

Every university (shite any job) looks for qualified minority candidates for their job openings. Every university has a diversity department with diversity czars and committees and multicultural centers (non-white people buildings). Every university has minority scholarships and accepts minority students that may not have qualified as a white applicant. Every university acts like it’s a bastion of liberalism and has all the answers for solving the world’s problems.

On another note, I am so fricking glad I am not in a PhD program. Next year would have been my year to enter the job market. As a mid-30s white male from the South, I would have been shite out of luck.

LSU isn't the only college pandering to the very loud minority.

True but due to finances LSU doesn’t have as much wiggle room to pander compared to other schools

Didn't get far but I'm guessing the gist of it is

Equal outcomes. Not equal opportunities.

Small sample size but in general every black alumni I know seems to have enjoyed their time at LSU. This feels like addressing a problem that doesn’t exist. LSU also has the most black students out of any sec school. They are very aggressive in recruiting and scholarships for black students.

Apparently Galligan may be an even bigger cuck than F*King Alexander was. Out of the frying pan and into the fire. The thing I’ve always thought was ridiculous is how “diversity” is just a fancy way of catering to blacks. What about Latinos or Asians? Just because they don’t maintain the perpetual victim mentality are they to be ignored?

So how much are Southeastern or ULL season football tickets?


ULL

CHEAP. Easy Parking. Beer at stadium. No traffic jams if you stay until the end of the game.

if you're okay with a few inexplicable losses and meh stadium atmosphere, its a fantastic way to spend an afternoon.

I wasn't considering it. Now I'm forbidding it. If they are genuinely pursing affirmative action, that degree will decline in prestige quickly.

It’s like they don’t care about the Asian, Hispanic, middle eastern, South Pacific, or white community. But I’m sure this will lower the murder, abortion, drug addict, and poverty rate in BR. Congrats to LSU for solving the problem.
