It’s a curious feature of America’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) that they rarely have any diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) administrators or policies on their campuses, beyond what federal law requires.
Howard University, for instance, the alma mater of Vice President Kamala Harris, has no central administrator dedicated to DEI, and its student affairs programming aims to help the disabled and LGBTQ students. Neither Jackson State nor Grambling State, two famous HBCUs, have DEI plans or central administrators. North Carolina’s four public HBCUs also have very little DEI presence on campus. Much the same is true of Texas’s HBCUs, none of which has DEI deans at the college level and almost none of which has DEI in its college strategic plans. Tennessee State has less DEI than any four-year university in the Volunteer State. One could go on.
The lack of DEI at HBCUs may seem surprising in light of what we are commonly told about the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Diversity, we are told, means “the presence of differences in a different setting.” Differences of race, gender, religion, and so on “enrich our workplace” and make for a great national strength—in fact, our greatest strength, per President Biden. Equity, we are informed, is about providing all people with opportunities to grow, as is demonstrated when an institution “looks like America” by mirroring its demographics. Inclusion, it is said, involves “welcoming all people regardless of race, ethnicity, sex” and so on, by showing that “everyone is valued, respected and able to reach their full potential.”
~Snip~
HBCUs are not expected to have a DEI apparatus because these institutions already embody the true spirit of DEI. Concern for equity, always a ruse, is simply ignored. HBCUs achieve real diversity by packing campuses with minorities, training them to approach American society with an attitude of grievance, and excluding white males and wrong-thinkers from campus. They are “inclusive” because blacks run them and attend them in great numbers. They could only be more inclusive if fewer whites, Asians, and Hispanics attended.
DEI advocates have infused old words with new meanings. DEI opponents get cowed into silence and confusion in the face of intrepid and dishonest rebranding. Perhaps it’s time to abandon these words so that we can see and think clearly about our future as Americans.

Commentary:
“Equity is said to mean equality of outcome. But concerns about equity flow in one direction only. University activists demand equity only when they want more blacks in the student body or on the faculty, or more female students or faculty members.“

Diversity in thought usually leads to arguments, indecision and separation. Oh, it does have a few shining moments of genius, but only rarely.

Equity it would seem a chance to create a shared growth. In reality equity usually holds back the gifted and makes the less fortunate prone to handouts not a hand up.

Inclusion is a wonderful feeling. Makes you feel a part of something bigger. Unfortunately it is used as a stage for dividing. A very strange result given the opportunity to be included.

Diversity should offer the opportunity to see other choices. Not have them forced on you.

Equity should give opportunity to develop skills and a chance to use them.

Inclusion should bring people together, not divide.

Equality (#StupidSpeak: "Equity")

Smart folks are wondering why business is not applying themselves to tackle supply chain problems instead of focusing on nihilistic identity politics.

Shitshows continue while real problems are ignored!!

Sheepskins Are for Sheep

If college students aren't paid, graduates aren't worth anything. The control-freak corporations value some no-talent brown-nose who would sacrifice four or more years of his life working without pay just to work for them.

Paid students would be far superior to the Diploma Dumbos we get under this system. But the beat goes on, beating down the brains until all sense is knocked out of them.

Yes.

And if you rearrange the letters "LAT FESBIAN" you come up with BULLDOG.

This is a fun game

"Equity" Is a Financial Term and Has Nothing to Do With "Equality." The Two Words Come From Entirely Different Latin Roots.

The Illiterate Liberal Language Lords actually rearrange the meaning of words, such as "oxymoron" and "equity." They're winning, because their weak and lazy opponents accept those nonsense changes, showing that they respect any authority and only oppose authority if some other self-appointed authority tells they can disagree. The phony Conservatives who preach about "standards" never mention the way their Liberal colleagues have drastically lowered the standards for language.
