Ohio State University employs nearly 90 diversity-related administrative employees, which costs taxpayers in the Buckeye State about $7.3 million in salaries and benefits annually,...
The 88 administrators receive an estimated $7.3 million in total compensation, which includes $5.38 million in salaries and an estimated $1.89 million in fringe benefits.
To put that administrative expense into perspective, about 750 in-state students could get a full scholarship for tuition and fees if those dollars were directed to student financial aid. Stated differently, it takes the entire tuition dollars from 750 in-state students to pay for those 88 diversicrats, economics Professor Mark .

Nine OSU diversicrats make over $100,000 a year.

Michigan has 93 diversity-related staffers who make a total of $11 million per year in salaries and benefits, with much higher-paid senior administrators compared to Ohio State.

administrative bloat is a big factor for rising college tuition costs.
While some diversity staff are probably necessary to enforce federal legislation like Title IX, there are also concerns that many diversity employees are part of an administrative expansion that might be unnecessary and is a major contributing factor to the increasing cost of college, which has major life-long implications for the students who are now graduating with average student loan debt of $37,000 and average monthly payments of nearly $400 for ten years,

And yet the bureaucrats use that as a “distress signal” for MO MONEY
MO MONEY will sove EVRY TING !!
And The Band Played On
They stick em in those “Diversity” positions to make the stats look good for the black legislators when the chancellors and deans come runnin fo MO MONEY
“If you go to the “Who We Are” page at College Fix, they don’t have any minorities working there, they are all white.”
They probably suffer from so much white guilt from all that privilege that they have to virtue signal in order to keep their Progressive status current.
I wonder how much they’re spending on this in bluer states?
Geez, can’t Urban cover dat?
Is even one paid to be concerned with diversity of thinking or is it only ever diversity of appearance, non-whiteness and non-Christian?
Institutions of lower learning.
88 zampolits.
A significant reason for the ludicrously high cost of college is this kind of absolute claptrap.
Colleges and universities are filled with useless parasites like these.
It’s appalling.
Time for “versity” to DIE.
If I could do it all over again, I'd major in plumbing or electric wiring.
The $7.3 seems really low. I have met some of these “Diversity” administrators and most were making $200,000 - $300,000 per year. There are more new luxury cars on campus than in stock at the dealerships.
Sounds like old style Soviet Political Officers
It’s the tip of the iceberg. The government mandates, or at least makes necessary, a large number of overhead requirements that are not diversity related, notably in the field of managing student loans and other financial assistance, but also in the fields of access, environmental compliance, and other facilities-related expenses. This isn’t going away if we “solve” the student loan issue through forgiving the debt, the expense will merely be shifted toward the taxpayer. This is a thing I remind certain young acquaintances who imagine that loan forgiveness is the ticket to starting life with a clean slate - guess who will foot that bill?
The College Fix is a conservative publication.
Probably 78 Democrat voters to boot.
Online degrees are a way to bypass this b.s. and will defund the lib race pimp profs.
“Ohio State employs 88 diversity-related staffers at a cost of $7.3M annually”
I can’t help but wonder if the need for diversity-related staffers is going to increase or decrease over the next twenty years.
I would think that as society improves there will be less need but maybe not. Maybe we will need more and more and more.
And how many layers of diversity-related staffers are required? I’m sure entry level diversity staffers must need supervisors to check their diversity work product to ensure it is adequately diverse.
And so forth and so on.
