Pace University Holding ‘Social Justice Week’ With Emphasis on ‘Equity’
“Social Justice Week seeks to create brave spaces that challenge white supremacy among other forms of oppression”
This has absolutely nothing to do with the pursuit of scholarship. It’s just more progressive politics.

Pace University to hold ‘Social Justice Week’ with emphasis on ‘values’ like ‘equity’
A private university in New York City is offering a week of social justice-themed events at the end of this month.
The programming is called “Social Justice Week” and is taking place at Pace University from Oct. 26-Nov. 2; this is the fifth year the school has hosted the program.
Pace University administrators are calling for applications, including from faculty and staff.
“A community-driven effort, the week aims to offer original programming that adheres to values of equity and justice and engages the campus community in learning activities and dialogue centered on the issues of social justice,” the description says.
“Social Justice Week seeks to create brave spaces that challenge white supremacy among other forms of oppression and to create a starting point from which meaningful dialogue and action can be created for the entire Pace Community,” it continues.
Social Justice Week organizers have not released the schedule of events, but last year’s schedule is still available online.
One panel discussion was titled: “Whose Voices are Represented in Academia? A Discussion about Diversity in Scholarship.”
The discussion focused on “the ways the texts students and faculty access may be limited by a lack of diversity, as well as the actions they can take to create a more inclusive knowledge pipeline.”
“We will introduce the context for these discussions with an overview of the current state of knowledge and academia in a white supremacist society before opening discussion to imaginative ways we can revamp our personal and professional practices,” the description continues.

Sadly for the participants, the “white supremacy” they seek to overthrow is actually the natural order supremacy of hard work, diligence, the ability to delay gratification and traditional values.
People who lack these skills and values do their best to ignore why they are fundamentally losers who only thrive in rigidly controlled social environments.
White Supremacy, according to the black wing of the Smithsonian.
Overwhelming public reaction: Please point out the bad parts?
You are being the R word. Rational.
First, colleges drove away men by telling men they are all potential rapists and predators, and they should feel guilt and shame. Women are nearly 50% more likely to go to college than men.

Now they are driving away white students by telling them they are oppressors and have to feel guilt and shame. White student populations have dropped by about 19% since 2018.

I’ve seen these trends in the colleges where I worked, including the Ivies, ESU’s (Enormous State Universities), and small colleges. The “Me, too” movement pushed out many men, then the reaction to George Floyd’s death and the acceptance of Critical Race Theory started making all white students feel out of place. The use of “diversity statement” litmus tests in hiring has assured that college faculties grow more and more intolerant of men and white students.
Men and white students just want to go somewhere they can get a good education, for a reasonable price, without being treated like rapists and oppressors. Until colleges figure that out, I expect more and more of them to lose students and close. Get woke, go broke.
Professional STEM programs, such as medicine and pharmacy, have been driving out white men for years. The average medical school class has been over 60% female and some schools over 50% minorities now for better part of two to three decades. It’s becoming rare to see white men at the administrative positions, say department vice chair to dean. It’s as if they are an endangered species. I left my adjunct medical faculty appointment behind largely because administration wanted all of us to write “Diversity and Inclusion Statements”. I don’t have time for that.
“Men and white students just want to go somewhere they can get a good education, for a reasonable price, without being treated like rapists and oppressors.”
Time for all-men colleges again. And the formerly all woman colleges need to return to being the glorified Finishing Schools for Girls that they were, and for all I know, still are. (When was the last major scientific breakthrough to come from Wellesley or Bryn Mawr?)
and still the narrative on africa and muslim promotion of slavery is rarely heard/talked about
