How one college spends more than $30M on 241 DEI staffers … and the damage it does to kids

[NorthernHawkeye]

Having recently embarked on a new five-year DEI plan, UM is paying more than $30 million to 241 DEI staffers this academic year alone, Mark Perry found in a recent analysis for the College Fix.

That represents an astounding expansion of the school’s already-infamous DEI bureaucracy, which had a mere 142 employees last year.

Follow the links. Sure, it started in a NYPost article... but you can fact check.

Here's the spreadsheet:



You could easily fact check that against public records.

Document the article was based on. A few links deep if you follow them off the main article from NYPost. Took me 30 seconds to find.

I haven't gone through it all. My point is that stuff like this from the NYPost can be based on legit info, you just have to do the work to verify.

Of course that doesn't answer the question of whether or not spending that money on DEI is intelligent or not, and this was an opinion piece.

And my point is that the OP says it is damaging kids. I’m not interested in why a tabloid thinks that.

I agree, they're tabloidy. Have some good authors like Douglas Murray. Otherwise their opinion stuff is rather hyperbolic most of the time.

The NY Post is noted for its HEADLINES, not so much its article content. Republicans read The Times.

Misuse of funds. Perpetrators should be investigated and charged.

These funds could be used for education instead of advancing a political agenda.

Deplorable!

Fair point, and I actually thought I was responding to Northern (the questioning is his thing). And yes, many of my sources lean left, but they score highly regarding accuracy.

With a background in research, I find it easy to separate bias from a source's presented facts.

I simply don't read sources who are habitually inaccurate (like the New York Post). Right wing sources are far more frequently inaccurate (proven through research and lawsuits).

I don't even think citation matters, especially if you're a rich bitch who went to Exeter and got gifted tenured professorship at Stanford and president of Harvard.

It's more about quality than bias for a good reader.

Bias is much more granular than simple source. Certain authors have certain biases. Certain departments have certain biases.

We live in a world where news and analysis is produced for a target audience. You have to hop around to get everything you need -- no longer are the days where just reading the NYT or this or that is good enough. You have to be an intelligent shopper lest your information diet be insufficient.

I would agree with this, particularly the point you make in the second paragraph. However, an "intelligent shopper" knows there are some sources that are completely irrelevant and unreliable. Said shopper, if intelligent, wouldn't waste the time with those sources (the New York Post, for example).
