The College Fix reports:
Five DEI officers have resigned from this university within span of a year
A parade of diversity, equity, and inclusion officers have departed Quinnipiac University within the past year.
A total of five diversity officials have resigned from the Connecticut-based university within an 11-month span, the Quinnipiac Chronicle reported.
Most recently, Wayne Gersie, vice president of equity and inclusion, announced he will leave his position and return to his former post at Michigan Technological University, citing “personal reasons,” the student newspaper reported.
Asked about the high turnover rate, campus spokesman John Morgan told The College Fix the university “remains committed to achieving the goals of advancing inclusive excellence.”
“We have appointed David Fryson, an experienced higher education leader, to serve as interim vice president for equity and inclusion. Having served as interim vice president for diversity at Brandeis University, and prior to that as vice president for equity and inclusion at West Virginia University, David will begin his new role at Quinnipiac in early January,” he said.
The Chronicle reported that Gersie’s departure came after only five months on the job.
“Four other diversity and inclusion administrators have resigned in the past year,” it added.
“Dennis Kwarteng, Quinnipiac’s former Title IX coordinator, left Quinnipiac in January. Gersie’s predecessor, Don Sawyer, departed Quinnipiac in June. Daymyen Layne, the former director of multicultural education and training, departed in June as well. And Veronica Jacobs, the current associate director of multicultural education and training, announced her resignation on Dec. 1.”

5? How many of those damned useless people does that place have?
“There is no cause for alarm, students! You Whites and Asians will still be despised, and we have outsourced anti-Semitism to the Black Student Union.”
I would guess the number of ‘ administrators’, including DIE cadres, at US universities over past 40 years has increased at about 3 times the rate of full time faculty. A major component of tuition escalation well beyond the general price level. An unbiased study would be interesting.

Celebration perhaps, but not alarm.
