Because Diversity
George Leef:
For the last 25 years, a huge growth area for American higher education has been offices of "diversity and inclusion," which now provide highly paid pseudo-jobs for many thousands of administrators. At UCLA, the vice chancellor for equity, diversity, and inclusion rakes in a cool $444,000, for example.Make sure you read Professor Staddon's article.
Do we actually need any of this, however? In today’s Martin Center article, Duke University professor John Staddon argues that we don't. These make-work offices actually work at cross purposes with education. Their activities are "tangent to the university's core function, which is open and free debate in search of veritas."
