Reason number seven gazillion and twenty-three why today's institutions of "higher learning" are actually post-America's foremost cesspools of cultural rot:
Top public universities pay administrators with jobs related to diversity initiatives an average of $175,088 per year, substantially more than other professors and faculty members, according to a Campus Reform investigation.
A sheet compiling the salaries of the top diversity administrators at
43 of America’s top public universities shows that virtually all are paid at least $100,000, with some going well beyond $300,000.
Six figures to impose totalitarianism and snowflake validation. A much more lucrative gig than actual teaching:
2016 report by the American Association of University Professors found that the average professor salary across ranks was $79,424.
In one example, an administrator at Rutgers University named Jorge Schement, vice chancellor of the Office of Diversity and Inclusion, made $253,262 in 2016, while most faculty at Rutgers in 2015 made less than $50,000 a year.
These people will not be going away until more schools experience the kind of
enrollment drop that is kneecapping the University of Missouri. Something to include in our prayers.
Do you present some sort of platform to the Lord, replete with strategies? I thought we took it one day at a time, grateful for our daily bread, and, if we hold resentments, we forgive those who have trespassed against us and hope to be forgiven in commensurate measure. But deliver us from highly paid professors, but not "money" coaches for they shall bring it in and allow us to whoop it up in bars and incite riots from time to time.
ReplyDeleteSimply put, deliver us from evil, if that is evil. Sometimes it seems to take forever to bee delivered from evil, which it is often said is in the eye of the beholder, or is that beauty?
ReplyDeleteWith stuff like the "diversity" movement, you don't sit and wait to be delivered. You speak out, fight, and explain that real ordered liberty is based on considering individual human beings, not demographic classifications. Otherwise you wind up with a dystopian hellhole, and we have the nation's university campuses to see what that looks like.
ReplyDeleteGood work trashing higher education in America because a lot of uneducated believe you. There's a book out there called The Death of Expertise and you are helping it along, as if it can die twice.
ReplyDeleteThanks for wishing me luck. It's so important to get the message out about what a sewer it has become.
ReplyDeleteOne persons sewer is another's conduit and at least u know it. It's the American way to give and take. Oh, btw most of those low professor salaries did not use to be. Like a lot of formerly good paying gigs in Amerika (Kafqueske dark poetic sense only).
ReplyDeleteSo you think having diversity officers is a good move?
ReplyDeleteAm I to micromanage as a tax payer? The issue should be brought before the trustees who have the legal authority over salaries. What it's looking like now is that STEM and athletics are getting all the grease. Don't like it, change it, which is what I presume you are trying to do. I really don't know much about it. A mind can only worry about so much so I will let you do this for me on this issue. While you're at it, why not work a raise for the asst. swimming coaches while you work on cutting all positions and/or pay for those in public universities that you do not jibe with. Or burn down the diversity building.
ReplyDeleteI prayed for a girlfriend once and married the next gal who touched me with her boobies (clothed).
ReplyDeleteCollege is free in Chili, France, Norway, Brazil, Germany, Finland, Slovenia and Switzerland if a Facebook post I recently came across is not fake news.
ReplyDeleteNo, it's not free. Every damn citizen in those countries is coughing up tax dollars to pay for it.
ReplyDeleteAnd you did not directly answer my question about diversity officers, instead talking about tax payers and trustees. Why?
ReplyDeleteI am plainly saying that the whole idea of "diversity" programs at all in schools or corporations is bad and wrong and ought to be spoken against by more and more people until they go away.
Where do you stand? I'm not interested in where some trustee stands. I asked you.
