Diversity And Other Administrative Monstrosities: The Case Of The University Of Michigan

snip~
Mark Perry, an economics professor at the University of Michigan at Flint and a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, recently calculated that his university has nearly 100 diversity administrators, more than 25 of them earning over $100,000 a year. Collectively, they cost the University of Michigan, with fringe benefits, about $11 million annually. Adding in other costs such as travel and office space expenses, the total cost rises to perhaps $14 million, or $300 for every enrolled student at the U of M in the fall semester 2017.

Moreover, the "diversicrats" raise costs even more through their dictates to the faculty. Suppose a nuclear engineering program has three superb white male applicants for a faculty position, and one far weaker nonwhite female candidate with fewer publications, poorer teaching evaluations and a poorer academic background. The department would normally bring the three top persons to campus to interview, but in today's environment would likely be forced by the diversicrats to bring in the nonwhite applicant as well –and then have to argue fiercely in order to hire one of the superior white male individuals.

"Diversity Administrator"? OMG, that sounds like something straight out of the USSR. Why not call them Diversity Czars?
Marx would be proud.
