DEI has destroyed American colleges and universities. It infects many other institutions, of course, but the evidence is rapidly mounting about how destructive it is and has been to our education system. 'Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion' have made colleges abandon merit and academic rigor in favor of a woke agenda that has nothing to do with teaching students HOW to think and everything to do with ordering them WHAT to think.
Of course, it also promotes mediocrity (at best) which has been exposed over and over in recent months, from Harvard University hiring a president, Claudine Gay, who was a plagiarist with no significant academic credentials, to the recent exposures of DEI corruption at UCLA and Duke medical schools. MEDICAL SCHOOLS. And just the other day, even Harvard's 'Chief Diversity Officer' was revealed to be a serial plagiarist. Columbia University's CDO, as well.
With all of this coming to light, you would think that other colleges and universities would be backing WAY off of their DEI agendas. In Florida, Ben Sasse just fired ALL of the DEI staff at the University of Florida.
Don't tell that to the University of Virginia though. They are still proud of their DEI corruption. UVA's Assistant Vice President for Equity and Inclusive Excellence with the Division for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (how is that even a title?) recorded videos where she talked about the 'toxicity of whiteness.'
Because DEI and its adherents are also racist AF.
But guess what? It turns out that being an unqualified, racist exemplar of mediocrity and division pays REALLY well. Yesterday, End Wokeness posted the salaries of the DEI staff at UVA, and ... wow. Just ... wow.
End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) ~ Holy shlit. Look at how much the DEI staff at UVA makes. Funded by our tax dollars.
End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) ~ Yes, the numbers are real:

And, as End Wokeness mentioned, UVA is a public university, which means taxpayers are partially funding these charlatans.
Tandy (@dantypo) ~ The DEI staff at UVA cost you/we the taxpayers almost $3 million. That’s the salary of 10 people. The rounded price to attend UVA is $30k. Rather than hire and pay these useless folks, 100 students could receive full-ride scholarships.
DEI is ... thinly veiled Marxism, which always -- every single time -- just boils down to oppressors versus oppressed. And DEI gets to decide and define who the 'oppressors' are. (Careful though, because that definition could change from day to day ... or from hour to hour.)
Tim Young (@TimRunsHisMouth) ~ Who said racism doesn't pay?
Oh, racism pays very, very well. Always has. Joy Reid makes $2 million a year from MSNBC and Al Sharpton makes several hundred thousand in salary from the network (and that's not even counting how much he pays himself from his 'charity').
Tim Young (@TimRunsHisMouth) ~ Men can get pregnant and white people are bad! Ok, now pay me $400k!
The absolute, undeniable TRUTH? Academia brutally scammed thousands of brainless twits by getting them to pay a fortune for a worthless African-American Studies, Latin Studies, Women's Studies, Fudge-Packer Studies, etc. degree, and now, this is their way to make amends and try to legitimize these bogus programs - create high-paying jobs within Academia, itself, for these derelicts using taxpayer funds.
Liberacrat Media™️ (@Liberacrat_) ~ One hundred percent! 👇
Oh, and if you think UVA is an outlier along with the other 'elite' universities, think again. Here are the numbers from Ohio State, another public university.
Drake Slayer (@drakeslayer100) ~ Ohio State spends over $20 million per year on DEI salaries ...
It isn't just UVA and OSU - all of the big public universities have been paying millions and millions to these low-IQ purveyors of stupidity and racism.
