The University of Colorado announced Friday that Sallye McKee will become the first vice chancellor for diversity, equity and community engagement.

"I want students to say, 'Because I was at CU-Boulder, I'm able to live and work better as a leader in a global society,'" McKee said.

The new position elevates the dialogue about diversity to the chancellor's cabinet.

This nonsense and the Ethnics Studies Department ...

.

[Mr. K]

It must be so nice to have a job where you ‘increase awareness’ and ‘elevate dialogue’

Very productive...

[Roccus]

“Make work.”

[Lancey Howard]

It seems the University of Colorado has absolutely no concern for its reputation.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Consciousness raising, straight out of the Communist Handbook.

[Bob Mc]

."...the first vice chancellor for diversity, equity and community engagement."

Classic example of liberal speak nonsense. Shear idiocy.

[Bobkk47]

“Diversity is Perversity.”

[george76]

CU is just maintaining its reputation ?

[teawithmisswilliams]

"...first vice chancellor for diversity, equity and community engagement."

In other words, more divisiveness, conflict and peecee coercion are coming, funded by Colorado taxpayers.

[george76]

It did not work out so well with Ward, now they are trying a different tack.

[george76]

Another waste of taxpayer’s and parent’s money ?

[hometoroost]

Exhibit A in America’s slide toward third world status. The death of education in general and higher education in particular.

[DPMD]

Next, we must have an assistant chancellor for Carbon Neutrality, Climate Change and Global Warming. Maybe the Vice Chancellor for Laundry and Morale can piggyback the duties.

[george76]

get fitted for burkahs now and beat the rush.

I borrowed this from you :

give illegal immigrants plenty of benefits that we don’t give legal residents

[Morgan in Denver]

Head of diversity?

This really is silly. These liberals only do such things to make them feel better about themselves. I doubt any of this has any real impact on education or how people feel about themselves. No wonder people look at CU Boulder and laugh.

[Sonora]

True - I wonder how a performance appraisal would be done on this person.

[george76]

CU also wasted their student fee money by over paying Kofi for his short speech recently too.

The engineering, computer, medical schools... are apparently still good, but what is this new president thinking ?

[cgbg]

The legislature should send this university a message even the CU idiots can understand--a major slash in their budget.

[Regulator]

a leader in a global society

Gee, I thought they were supposed to be leaders in American society.

[BenLurkin]

Hey ... doesn't everyone want to be "a leader in a global society"?

/sarc

[monkapotamus]

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Is there ONE “White Christian Male” anywhere in charge of any “diversity” department? No. So this is a fraud.

[george76]

We all can be “a leader in a global society”

/s

[hsalaw]

The new position elevates the dialogue about diversity to the chancellor's cabinet.

What the heck does this mean? "Elevates the dialogue"? I still don't understand why "diversity" has to be mandated. I guess my dialogue isn't sufficiently elevated.

[NewHampshireDuo]

Sallye McKee will become the first vice chancellor for....

Hey Sally, your parents misspelled your name!

[george76]

The University is pandering to the left...now that Ward was fired , sort of ( he still get another year’s paid vacation ).

[Morgan in Denver]

As I understand it, there is no oversight for CU spending by the state. If I remember right, there is no audit procedure possible. CU can spend what they want, ask for more, and never be held accountable.

“This really is silly. These liberals only do such things to make them feel better about themselves. I doubt any of this has any real impact on education or how people feel about themselves. No wonder people look at CU Boulder and laugh.”

The local school district up here in Longmont has several “Diversity Directors”. My take on it is that they ensure the illegal alien termites sucking off the taxpayers are getting the maximum amount of benefits.

[george76]

Cu has been apparently getting big money from estates and foundations for their endowment funds recently. I do not recall the number exactly.

[Grampa Dave]

PC ism will kill all of us or make our lives miserable.

[george76]

This feel good stuff is nuts.

NEWSPEAK.
“Global society” = COMMUNISM

As a tribute to Sallye, the department will be named The Department of Diversity, Equity, Community Engagement, and Funny First Names.

vice chancellor for diversity, equity and community engagement

Isn't that the honorary title used by the cook, Neelix, on Star Trek: Voyager

[Morgan in Denver]

Alumni can put pressure nobody else can create because of their donations. If I remember correctly, Duke suffered big time during the faux-rape case.

[Morgan in Denver]

I like Longmont. I hope the Boulder mentality does not rub off you you guys.

[Ready4Freddy]

Unfortunately, no.

If I remember correctly, Duke suffered big time during the faux-rape case.

[Morgan in Denver]

I’m sorry to hear that. My understanding was otherwise and I appreciate being set straight.

[dynachrome]

Hire me. What the heck, I will just copy and paste my speeches from whatever handbook of platitudes they have. Easy money.

[colorado tanker]

Betcha there are more “diversity” officials and committees at CU than there are non-scholarship athlete African-American students.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Act II, Ward with skirt.

[SunkenCiv]

thanks G76.
