University of California Parasite Factory to UC: "Fuck You. Pay Me"
Not only have diversity sinecures been protected from budget cuts, their numbers are actually growing.The University of California at San Diego, for example, is creating a new full-time “vice chancellor for equity, diversity, and inclusion.” This position would augment UC San Diego’s already massive diversity apparatus, which includes the Chancellor’s Diversity Office, the associate vice chancellor for faculty equity, the assistant vice chancellor for diversity, the faculty equity advisors, the graduate diversity coordinators, the staff diversity liaison, the undergraduate student diversity liaison, the graduate student diversity liaison, the chief diversity officer, the director of development for diversity initiatives, the Office of Academic Diversity and Equal Opportunity, the Committee on Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation Issues, the Committee on the Status of Women, the Campus Council on Climate, Culture and Inclusion, the Diversity Council, and the directors of the Cross-Cultural Center, the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Resource Center, and the Women’s Center. -- Less Academics, More Narcissism by Heather Mac Donald - City JournalWhat a stunning list of the leech species in California's "academic" life.

Your Say
The rest of that GOODFELLAS quote is instructive as well in this case (particularly the last two sentences):
"Also, Paulie could do anything. Especially run up bills on the joint's credit. And why not? Nobody's gonna pay for it anyway. And as soon as the deliveries are made in the front door, you move the stuff out the back and sell it at a discount. You take a two hundred dollar case of booze and you sell it for a hundred. It doesn't matter. It's all profit. And then finally, when there's nothing left, when you can't borrow another buck from the bank or buy another case of booze, you bust the joint out. You light a match."

Having fled San Diego, a place I love, after twenty years of proximate residence. I am prepared, given appropriate powers, to return for an afternoon and rectify this situation. Have a large trench dug at the far end of the faculty parking lot.

Lighting them up sounds most reasonable to me. But then again, I am not educatered...and isn't that what the university is now, anyway? A great, big, giant smorgasbord of pick and choose, all-you-can- pay-for knowledge. Educatering. Taste the diversity.

Everyone I have ever met that has had the word "diversity" in their job title has been a douchebag. Every single one.

My daughter graduated from UC San Diego 30 years ago. It was, at one time, a very good school. She got a superior education there and is a staunch conservative so the brain washing did not take in her case.
This is the problem everywhere in universities today. Too much administration. Too much attention to post modern nonsense. Too little attention to serving their customers (students) and society. Unfortunately, it will take a generation to make any kind of inroads on this problem. It will be a long slog.

With the debt ceiling and restrictions on borrowing coming, this makes an excellent place to start balancing the budget.

What a mob of vicious bigots the incoming students must be. Otherwise, why would they need so many officers to enforce correctness of thought, speech, behavior, and personal opinion?

And just imagine, this is probably replicated at most universities and colleges across the USA. How many people are employed promoting this bogus stuff? Probably more than the Climate Change promoters. Your tax dollars at work. No wonder we're broke

Would that they were, in this circumstance; that way, instead of tearing up the town when their team wins (or loses), they can rampage through the faculty lounges, defenestrating every pseudo-academic they find hiding there.

I wants me one of them there diversity jobs. I have all of the qualifications that the diversity guys got. I want a big salary, and a hundred thousand a year retirement at age 62. Hey, I AM 62! What a coincidence!
I feel quite confident I could do as much for UCSD as the currant bunch of diversity edumacators.

"Every species of quackery and flapdoodle finds a home and a subsidy in Brussels."
Brussels or San Diego, you be the judge.
It's terrible to watch a people to vote away their freedom and prosperity and to waste their reason on nonsense. A new world is being born in which flapdoodle is flapjacks. And every step of the way the American and European people approved, submitted, and celebrated it.
