University of Nebraska-Lincoln shuts down DEI office, eliminates $320k vice chancellor position

Nebraska exists only to grow wheat.

Sort of like Wyoming exists solely to produce crazy people.
 
When you take the time and scroll all the way to the bottom it tells you everything you need to know about the link and the authors. Sounds like O’Reilly and friends in reverse.
 
Getting rid of DEI offices and officials at universities is not really a big problem for students or professors. The duties simply revert back to the Office of Equal Opportunity and Title IX which is federally mandated and can't be disbanded no matter how much conservative whites complain. When DEI became popular most universities set up an office to show they were concerned and doing something. But they were largely dupicating the E O and Title IX office. Disbanding them because of pressure from white conservatives is a bit cowardly but it will save some money.

Yeah, I will admit that.

The source is questionable.

We see that lack of affirmative action promotes racial segregation. I would bet getting rid of DEI would have a similar effect.
 
You hit the nail the head and justifies the fact that DEI is another program that duplicates existing programs and just adds another layer of fat to an already bloated higher education bureaucracy. That is the main reason many conservatives are opposed and not racism. If you dig deeply enough I’m sure you’ll find racists. Not everything is answered with a simpleton accusation that it’s because of racist white conservatives. That meme has gotten old but it still attracts people like yourself who are too lazy to do real research on your own and stop being spoon fed by the usual race baiting tripe.
 
This is partially the problem with the present student loan situation.

Further:
 
(Part 2)
It is also a failure to understand basic economics.
What happens to the pricing in the market when loads of money is injected?
Demand increases, if the supply isn't increased the price goes up.

What is even more worrisome is some think that the government injecting even more money in student loans will make it better. No, it'll only worsen the already in place feedback loop and prices will increase even higher even faster.

DEI/CRT is a social agenda that is abused by Progressive fanatics. They use it to unfairly attempt to place blame or judgement on the basis of race or whatever & creates racial division instead of fighting it among all race groups in all levels of our education system across the nation & in the corporate world. In both, it creates a toxic environment of angst & animosity, which contradicts the entire purpose.

UNL is one of the whitest public schools in the country. My daughter graduated from UNL. The only non-white students I ever saw were either on athletic scholarships or foreign exchange students sponsored by their respective governments.

Harley Davidson has learned. It may be a little too late. The CEO is some German guy who thinks that he has to crap on tough bikers to go worldwide. They denounced those efforts but they need to can the CEO of the real Harley riders will burn their bikes because they will be seen as drinking Bud Light if they ride a Harley.

If they don't want to be relegated to making rainbow colored scooters they best fire their CEO.
 
Reactions: PoS
So DEI *is* voluntary?

I was assured by various mixed nuts of the MAGA persuasion that it was not optional.
 
Who cares if they burn their bikes? They were already purchased.

Mostly by insurance agents having their mid life crisis.
 
Maybe so. Maybe those complaining about DEI and CRT were genuinely concerned about college costs to students. But only whites showed up to complain. And the only complaints were about diversity, equality and inclusion for blacks and sexually different ....... oh and the perpetual conservative concern who gets to use which bathrooms.

So maybe the people complaining were financial wizards concerned about college costs but they sure looked and sounded like conservative, white racists.
 
You keep living in your world and I’ll continue living in reality.

This is right-wing drivel.

It was created to help non-white people get into college.

It wasn't perfect, but it did help.

If there were not so many racist, bigoted asshats that only cared about skin color, it would never have been necessary.
