A University of Chicago student group has issued a series of more than 50 demands, which include calls for a mandatory “Diversity and Inclusion” graduation requirement.

UChicago United, the group behind the demands, describes itself as “a coalition of multicultural student organizations formed to make the University of Chicago campus more inclusive for students of marginalized backgrounds and identities,” according to its Facebook page.

I can still remember explaining to the person calling for alumnae contributions just WHY they weren’t getting any of my money. This reminds me yet again.

U Chicago is marginalizing itself.

Stop gov’t student loans and the U goes financially bankrupt due to their moral and academic bankruptcy.

I’ll bet their demands of “diversity and inclusion” have a line item for separate graduation ceremonies for blacks.

I have faith in the administration of that school to tell them to stick their demands where the sun don’t shine.

40 years ago, I visited a high school classmate going to University of Chicago, after I got out of Boot Camp at Great Lakes. The walk from the L-Train to his dorm (In South Chicago) taught me everything I needed to know about diversity ...

Diversity of physical appearance is far, far more important than diversity of thought.

We all know that.

Well WTH is this?

You attend classes, study hard, get good grades accumulate the hours required and the next thing you know you're walking across the dias.

This happens no matter what your skin color is, provided you put in the work.

U Chicago?? Of all the top ranked academic institutions in the country they have been the least compromised by the latest campus madness. This is a “demand” from a left wing student group, not a pronouncement from the administration.

I wasn’t far off. There is a demand to “establish an opt-in Black Housing Option for Black students in College Housing.”

What that means is no whites, Hispanics, or Asians allowed.

Hosw’s that for inclusiveness?

Graduate from college, not from what you’ve learned and been tested for, but for the color of your skin or nationality? Oh, ok! Nothing really changed!

I think it’s cute that this group really thinks people care what they have to say.

My son earned his master's degree from UofC. He had always been a brilliant student, but I fear he was more indoctrinated than educated there... Imagine my dismay when he admitted voting for HRC. My point is even very intelligent students can succumb to indoctrination in cesspools like UofC. Scary.

These idiot “students” are devaluing their own degrees.

Will the UC Administration co-opt these “demands” or stand up to them in their academic forum?
