I missed this when it happened in 2016: the University of Michigan awarded some bozo a salary of $385,000 to be a “chief diversity and inclusion officer” (https://www.michigancapitolconfidential.com/22910). It was part of an $85 million “diversity plan” which would bring a golden age of “inclusive scholarship,” whatever the deuce that is.
Coincidentally, the looniversity raised tuition 3.9%.
Think about it: $85 million for pure, unadulterated crapola. Think about that while you break your backs working to pay your kids’ tuition. Think about it when they finally graduate and come back home to live in your cellar because their degrees in Gender Studies and Wise Women of Color Super-Hero Studies disqualify them for any gainful employment.
I wonder what the chief diversity and inclusion officer earns now, two years later.
Somehow I just haven’t got the heart to look it up.
Do you think we could talk them into giving us a grant to study the mating habits of hermit crabs?
Such rubbish! The student debt crisis will be insurmountable.
Modern higher “Education” is such a leftist cartel scheme…
They do pay their Diversity Experts very well indeed.
Things always get worse just before they turn around. I have the impression that things will change direction in the near future.
$85 million is crumbs for the Ivy League schools. Harvard is endowed for $35.7 billion. The average for them is $16.6 billion. When you have a racket like that going on I guess you can pretty much do anything you want.
If the oil companies ever dared to raise their prices like the looniversities raise their tuition costs, Congress would launch an investigation.
