Of course. However, it does show that this relatively modern "DEI" concept is becoming toxic by that name.

How many individuals are employed in this Office? What is its yearly budget?
Posted on 1/5/24 at 5:48 pm to Ignatius Reilly
I don't ever want to hear LSU complain about funding while they are spending on BS programs like this.

Landry has plans similar to Florida and Texas.
The LSU and UL systems both know, and are repositioning personnel/renaming offices to try and diminish his influence.
See the president shuffle in the UL system
I suspect he's going to be vigilant about it. They answer to him (Board of Supervisors) and the Legislature.

Don't make a thread like this on the Rant.
I did it last week and was met with a lot of REEEEEEEEEEEE.
A lot of them argued with me that Tate was not woke.

we will also introduce the Tiger Engagement Award, which will provide two students annually with an award of $500.
$1000 bucks??? This has to be some kind of joke right? It will cost them 10x the money just in salary to committee members to decide where to spend this $1k.

I've been at arm's length recently with 2x DEI peeps at my Alma Mater. When they're confronted with rational questions and have no choice but to respond with logic and reason, they literally run and hide... radio silence... they disappear... poof...
Unless you've witnessed this first-hand, it's hard to appreciate how cancerous this culture is. It is not an exaggeration. This article does a pretty fair job in describng it: LINK
• “The rot is everywhere, touching everything, a miasma of mandatory make-believe that has choked off the oxygen of rational inquiry.”
• "When everything is potentially offensive, all communication must be as indirect as possible, and the result is that clear communication using direct and precise language becomes impossible."
• "Academic discourse, characterized by impenetrable jargon at the best of times, has become a submarine mine field of accepted nomenclatures continuously evolving into deeply offensive expressions of various isms and phobias under the savage selective pressure of the rabid status games played by academics desperately scrambling after the small and shrinking number of jobs. Self-censorship, as everyone knows, has become pervasive - in an environment where yesterday's mandatory vocabulary is today's cancellable hate speech, the only safe expression is to say nothing."
• “Naturally the narrative is always false; it is precisely because it is false that it forbids even the discussion of alternatives, a taboo that expresses itself in the deplatforming or cancellation of deviants who dare "deny" the sacred narrative, or even to raise the most timid of questions about some minor aspect of it.”

It's should be a prerogative of Landry to gut the LSU Administration and the BoS

So who all quit donating to LSU? I am one.

That’s a lot of words to say that they’re still going to discriminate.
Guess who’s going to benefit from that.
I wonder how much they paid some consultants to come up with.

Playing with language because DEI has turned into a dirty word.
Let's see their commitment to Title IX with regard to spreading the wealth of NIL and facility money to the women's sports. I have a feeling that will somehow be different.
"Engagement" such a benign term for such an evil agenda.
"Civil Rights" but only if you are from preferred groups.

Meh, sounds like a bunch of words to say nothing
I have my reservations about Tate, but keep in mind he has too keep idealistic yet naive students, divergent-thought alumni, and bat-shite crazy profs and admins happy.
