Comments
This Vice President’s job will be to make sure that race and sex are the primary considerations in admissions and hiring.
Virtue-signaling has become one of the largest expenses at many taxpayer-funded universities. Add this to the bloated administrations, and you can see why tuition and taxpayer expenses have gotten out of hand.
Until legislators do something about the administrative/diversity bloat and students get serious about their rising tuition, nothing will change.
