Diversity Audit

If I was an alum I would be disgusted. They certainly wouldn't get another dime until something changed.

As it turns out, it looks like there are a lot of people who agree as Mizzou's enrollment and donations are down.

The school appears to be doubling down on dumb.

Apparently a 25% drop in enrollment and a $32 million budget shortfall didn't teach them. Fine, let them double down. Hopefully it leads to the entire school collapsing, and they can be the poster child for social justice/identity politics/radical, regressive leftism.

My brother and most of my good friends in high school went there, their reactions to the past year have ranged from less-then-thrilled to cutting off their relationship with Mizzou indefinitely. Like you've both mentioned, it's affecting their bottom line, they also have to close two dorms this upcoming school year to compensate for the sharp decrease. It's a shame they've gone off the deep end, Columbia is a nice town and Mizzou is a good school, but unfortunately it's not that shocking considering what's been going on in academia the past few years.

was born in StL in '65....would've gone to purdue if allowed to get to and finish through the vianney years....but we moved.....and in the early '70s, I was a huge mizzou fan (was like being a football cardinal fan)

what one learns after moving to the 'sip and integrating, is those fk'rs never had a clue with their main claim to fame sometime in the '80s was being playboy's #1 party school....

sigh to what upper education is becoming due to social fagg media.....

Finally a step in the right direction. When all the racists are finally removed and diversity is king then Mizzou will return to being the fine institution that it was known for.

So long as people such as yourself continue to use obnoxious pejoratives like that, I wouldn't be surprised if other schools started spending more money on diversity.

You know, its language and attitudes like yours that make the case for those who argue that minority marginalization is a problem and merits funding to ensure that those views and attitudes aren't allowed to bully minorities.

Perhaps if y'all would quit making our case for us with your behavior we wouldn't keep winning these arguments.

Views and attitudes don't bully. The black minorities and SJW at Mizzou are the bullies in this case. Who is our case?

Your 'case' appears to be that anyone who isn't white, American born, Christian, Republican, straight, and cisgendered is not allowed to advocate for changes that will foster an environment of more equality. Let me know if how I've misjudged you on that by letting me know where you'd be willing to say "OK, I'll check my white, straight, christian, cisgendered, American born privilege on that and concede something (anything) to those minority groups."

Schools do have an interest in ensuring that minorities don't avoid schools (or transfer out) due to marginalization by the institutional community. Sometimes that involves trying to figure out why minorities feel marginalized.

How about this. Go over to any of the sports boards and use the F bomb just dropped in this thread. Then see what happens. And I doubt it's because the denizens of those boards are liberals either (most of them aren't). Its because the language is offensive, demeaning and insulting to the overwhelmingly majority of people.

The use of verbal insults IS bullying.

Divide and conquer, separate people based on all of that is so nice to see.
University campuses are the most liberal enclaves in the USA. The blacks and their useful idiot white SJW are the bullies at Mizzou and elsewhere.

Are you trying to suggest that the gay struggle is the same as what black people had to deal with? Go to a black message board and post that.

Pretty darn common on this board.

So Mizzou is going to spend a million dollars to "understand" why they are losing money..............

...............I can tell them the reason for a quarter of the price.

Division is what name calling is supposed to accomplish. Many University campuses are frequently extremely conservative, to the point of excluding gays and non-Christians at many of them. At Mizzou, the administration is correct to attempt to figure out why so many non-white, straight, cisgendered, Christian, Republican students feel marginalized.

The real issue is that these institutions were created and sustained during a time when minorities were largely excluded from participation. Therefore these schools created social and institutional mechanisms that work for white, straight, etc. students. Some of these institutions and social mechanisms might also benefit minorities. Some might not. Some might work against those minorities.

Remember that University Administrations tend to be older (duh) and might not understand the dynamics of a changing student body. It makes sense for them to figure out why the students are so upset. I get it, some of y'all would just call them a libt_rd, or a F bomb, or something like that and go back to enjoying a system that is built 100 percent for your needs. But that will probably result in another ugly situation in a few years.

Really, where are the Gay professors at Baylor? How about Jews at Liberty? There are literally over 200 Universities that have defacto/outright bans on non-Christian or Gay faculty. They're not even really hiding it (asking for a Title IX waiver is admitting 'we discriminate'). Some of them have de facto bans on Gay students too (especially those who are married).

I'm not aware of any institution where Conservatives are banned from attending or being employed.

Perhaps some public universities trend a bit more leftward because so many of their competitors don't allow left leaning people to exist at their schools. Or they have restrictions that no Christian Conservative has faced at any institution.

So drop the whole "Left leaning academia" BS. Education is probably the area with the MOST discrimination against Gays and non-Christians in this country. Health care is another problem area (especially for Executive level employees).

Nice meme bro, but you might want to look at the student/faculty handbooks at Baylor, Houston Baptist, Dallas Baptist, Hutson Tillotson, Oral Roberts, Abilene Christian, Mississippi College, University of Mobile, Samford....(I'll stop here, but the list goes on for a long time).

Can you find me where Republicans or Christians are barred from employment at ANY college or university? Heck, even Yeshiva hires Christians.
