Well! I never!

[SharpRightTurn]

Wonderful news.

Where’s the flashing schadenfreude sign?

[Fireone]

The fact that one university had 60 of these frauds employed, shows how far the rot has advanced. 60? smh!

[beekay]

One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.
I think someone already said that.

“ I feel like my college experience is ruined.”

So go somewhere else.

Frigging pansy assed little snowflake.

“The University of Texas at Austin has sent layoff notices to an estimated 60 staff members who previously worked in diversity, equity and inclusion roles”

I’m willing to wager money that at least 40 of them find other jobs, or even find jobs with different names, but the same function.

So don’t celebrate yet - celebrate when the Administration there starts getting thrown in jail for violating State Law.

I need to move to Texas, (or Florida)!!!!!

If only TX could cut out that blue blight that is Austin.

Twenty years ago, UT allowed Muslims to set up stands along Speedway to holler and get in passerby’s faces.

About 15 years ago, the UT president whined that forcing them to admit the Top 10% of TX high school graduates would end Longhorn Football.

Ten years ago, they had 2nd Amendment protests with sweet little southern gals waving giant dildos yelling, “Cocks, not Glocks.”

UT has always been far lefty.

Jeez, it’s amazing how much parasitic deadwood there is in these institutions.

[Osage Orange]

YES!!!

[Elsie]

Don’t you have to be black for this to work?

Rachel tried to get away with it...

"Employer of the Unemployable?"

Don't give UT bureaucrats any ideas. They would probably welcome any excuse to change the school's motto: Disciplina, Praesidium, Civitatis.

In the interest of full disclosure Aaliyah Barlow, president of the university’s Black Student Alliance, should have noted that all students fees make the Black Student Alliance free for those members. Makes you wonder if she’s on a free ride also.

[Bubba_Leroy]

It’s a start.

[TribalPrincess2U]

Texas yes. Austin, hmmm.

[mewzilla]

A not so fast update...

Colleges Get Around State Bans of DEI With Rebranding. For example, University of Texas Division of Diversity & Community Engagement renamed the Division of Campus & Community Engagement.
