The Diversity Profession

[Twangbanger]

An opinion article on a job-field that didn't used to exist:

The Diversity Profession | The Weekly Standard

"...There's clearly a lot of money to be made in diversity and inclusivity. The Chronicle of Higher Education reported a surge in demand for "diversity consultants," who "offer colleges not just specialized expertise, but also the voice of a detached third party whose recommendations are likely to be received with less skepticism than those of administrators on the defensive." Invariably, these "detached" consultants demand schools pour more funds into promoting causes that have little to do with academics and everything to do with activism..."

In a time when tuition is going up and up, and radicals are talking about making college "free" as a result, it seems like a pertinent question: does this extra layer of university administration add value to the education experience? And for whom?

You spelled "racket" wrong.

The Diversity Racket

"...There's clearly a lot of money to be made in diversity and inclusivity.

FIFY

​Actually the diversity racket is non sequiter to education.

The education industrial complex is about the 3 C's, counselors, consultants and construction.

College education, such as it is, suffers from too little real competition and too much government subsidy. If the roles were reversed, there'd surely be less of the crap in the OP that oozes from it.

 

[Consciouscitizen18]

Take away the subsidies and you'd have universities that not only aren't SJW's, but cheaper tuition to. Subsidies just raise the tuition ceiling for white majority students who aren't going to receive as much money as the minorities.

Boy you got that right. It seems the whole time I was at Purdue, all I ever saw on campus was Kettelhut Construction trucks, cranes, bulldozers, etc., etc. It completely changed while I was there; and within 4 years of graduation, it had changed all over again.

Building college buildings and hospitals are two things that never seems to go out of style (although the latter will probably change now).

Well, at least they've figured out how to make money with worthless degrees.

Just leaching off those of us who actually produce a useful good or service.

Follow the money. Where is .gov interfering most now? College expenses and health care.

What a trick: hobble all the economy sectors except two...then try to make those remaining two "free." (Did they really think Utopia was going to be that easy?)

Well, this whole racket is gaining steam...

The public school "diversity" officers will be out of work in a few years...the schools will be 100% virtual or there won't be any kids left.
