This was shocking to me. UM has 100 paid diversity staff that cost the school $11mil/yr.
While I'm well aware universities have been going nutso with this stuff, I figured maybe the larger ones all have diversity staff in the low double digits (not counting student volunteer brownshirts). This is abhorrent to me. Staff and students at universities constantly whine about tuition costs and the need for more taxes to pay for better teaching staff, research funds, etc. Hey UM - I just found you money to hire additional teaching staff. Though you'd likely end up hiring 75 wymens studies "professors".

Unsurprising, really. We have a Vice President of Diversity and the department is one of the larger non-academic units on campus. They folded a whole host of stuff into the department. The Usual Suspects are there - Office of LGBTQIA, DREAM Resource Center, First Generation Students, etc. - but they also included some oddities like the university chess program, K-12 school outreach services, and of all things, Military and Veteran's Programs.
The outgoing VPD was an arrogant, self-aggrandizing ass. He never missed a chance to throw "Latino" into the conversation, usually multiple times per sentence and in the most in-your-face way possible. If a Caucasian spoke the same way, only substituting "white" or "Caucasian" for "Latino", they would be publicly flayed. No one misses him (not even the hard core race-baiters, if that tells you anything).

U of M has been a hotbed of commies for many years. A good friend graduated law school there. He went in a constitutional classical liberal and came out a neo Marxist...and that was around 1967.

$110 thou each? Except it probably starts at $65K and tops at $175K. Or worse.
Time to review Psalm 73.

And, of course, my twisted little mind read that as Vice President of Depravity.

Worse.
The vice provost for equity and inclusion and chief diversity officer comes out on top with an annual salary of $396,550.
Kinda comical from a commie diversity dept, because shouldn't the vice provost be redistributing his/her/it's own salary in the name of equity?

He's on loan from the University of Edgestow, and also has a fellowship with the N.I.C.E.

Local school district was soliciting ideas at their website to cut expenses.
I suggested eliminating every position with the word "Diversity" in the title or job description.
They didn't take my advice.
