How one college spends more than $30M on 241 DEI staffers… and the damage it does to kids



One day after winning the national college-football championship, the University of Michigan was recognized as a leading competitor in another popular collegiate sport: wasteful diversity, equity and inclusion spending.

Having recently embarked on a new five-year DEI plan, UM is paying more than $30 million to 241 DEI staffers this academic year alone, Mark Perry found in a recent analysis for The College Fix.
-----------------------------------------
Oklahoma’s public universities spent $83.4 million on DEI over the last 10 years.

Florida’s public universities reported spending $34.5 million during the 2022-23 academic year.

The University of Wisconsin was poised to spend $32 million over the next two years.

Why not use all that money to give students a much-needed tuition break?

Or why not fund need-based scholarships for promising students instead of giving cash to bureaucrats who are actively damaging our higher-education institutions?

All I see is potential ways to save money here.

And this is yet another reason why tuition is through the roof at these universities...

Creating do nothing / damaging jobs for people with useless degrees...

That National Championship probably did more for the happiness and self esteem of more students at UM than the entire $30M spend on DEI.

AND the NC made the school a net profit...

The fact you think this is funny tells us all we need to know about you and your KKKomrades.

Liberals one minute:

“Wahhh!! College is too expensive!! My student loans!!! OMG!!! Why is it so high?!?!? We are putting the future in debt!!!”

Liberals the next minute:

“Yay!! 30 million for diversity programs!!! So progressive!! So modern!! So inclusive!!! “


This is the thinking, by absolute and complete idiots, that has screwed this country.

I have some questions. First, how do I apply?

The average salary for these hires is $124k! (assuming the $30MM is for salaries only and not benefits)

Colleges and universities are super bloated. I hate it. I'm getting my PhD at a broke school, so I doubt they have a DEI department. We're pretty bare bones.

My office has a partnership with Apple through some sort of social justice initiative they have going on. The person over that at Apple is from New Orleans, so its helping us out tremendously. I haven't been to any diversity trainings, but people from Apple fly in every few months and teach us how to do cool things with their software.

DEI isn’t real and isn’t affecting anyone.


Right?

Assuming we ultimately survive this current mass psychosis, someday the nation will look back on this radical run-amok, “DEI era” with the bewilderment, shame and disdain it so richly deserves.

And they just can't figure out why their alumni won't contribute to the school. Go figure...
