University Of Alabama Dean: Identity Politics Is ‘The Whole Purpose Of The University’
The Federalist ^ | 8/29/23 | David Randall

Posted on 08/29/2023 10:10:41 AM PDT by CFW

Want to know how diversity, equity, and inclusion ideology has begun to take over public higher education in Alabama? Read Scott Yenor’s recent report, “Going Woke in Dixie?: The progress of DEI at the University of Alabama and Auburn University.”

He details the effects of the University of Alabama’s “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) strategic plan, lists the number of well-paid diversity officers, and catalogs how athletics and Greek life have been subordinated to DEI ideology. His description of DEI at Auburn University is just as comprehensive. “Going Woke in Dixie?” provides chapter and verse on just how badly DEI has colonized Alabama’s system of public higher education.

In 2019, the report notes, UA celebrated that more than one-third of its undergraduate curriculum is “diversity related.” The university also pays 31 dedicated DEI personnel, and its education school dean believes DEI is “the whole purpose of the university.”

If you are still donating regularly to your alma mater, and the dean of that university espouses such drivel as this, you need to stop that donation stat!

I guess he doesn’t need to explain that to his unqualified for anything and jobless graduates.

Unless you identify as a Borg they are going to force whites to accept ‘equity’ and of course only as they define it.

This is how they destroy the culture and nation and rebrand it as some sort of racial utopia except for whites of course who are evil and oppressive.

This won’t stop unless it is made to stop.

If you look up those legislative bills, it says they have both been delayed indefinitely.

If the fans of Alabama and Auburn no longer support their college athletics programs, and the stands are half full and the ratings tank, then the college administrations may get the message. The profitable college football programs, and not just in Alabama but throughout the nation, should be boycotted.

I though football and tailgating was the sole purpose of the university. 🤣

Dr. Stacy L. Jones

Dr. Stacy L. Jones has been named the new dean of students at The University of Alabama after serving as interim dean since August 2020.

Got it? Makes sense now?

Identity Politics Is ‘The Whole Purpose Of The University’ is what we get when black females are put in charge of our instituions.

DEI has infiltrated most campuses. The left has done a masterful job at propaganda and recruitment. Our side is not even on the field.

BTW, I was unable to find the name of the dean in this article.

Unless I missed it, this is a terribly written article.

It would seem that with identity, woke politics that the left needs to be forced to come to terms with the fact they now oppose the moral doctrine of Martin Luther King. Woke identity politics flies in the face of everything King advocated.

Will MLK be trashed? Do we still need to honor his efforts with a national holiday?

King was right and his dream had come to fruition and the bigots in his race and the Democrat party said no thank you we like segregation and hate.

This week Texas cut out DEI from all their universities. It’s time for other states to do the same.
