Big waste!

Can you see the fingerprints of big government here? An entire department created at huge cost to the taxpayer that accomplishes nothing.

And you only hear taxpayers need to fork over more to cover high tuition costs.

All that needs to be cut, and apparently some administrative positions, too.

Will never end until the government pulls out.

Where's the state comptroller in all this?

Doesn’t seem to be any mention of the GOP governor of Ohio….Let me guess. Since he’s a republican, he has nothing to do with the State universities…right?

I'm going out on a limb and say that most big state universities have some sort of diversity department. At the U of Az it is called the Dept of Diversity and Inclusion. And we wonder why college tuition keeps going up every year?

Get rid of this crap.

7.3 million of our hard earned tax dollars??

What are the salaries of those 88 people. Good Lord.

Math is hard right? There's probably a hand full of experienced or tenured leaders over 100k heading the department. Then the rest probably check in at numbers between 50 and 80k.

Before people complain about over 100k salary at a state funded school, you have to realize that even in this realm there is competition for good candidates. Just because it's a quasi government position doesnt mean we can pay them 50k and barely attract the average Elmer fudd to run a university department. The salary is still probably lower than what they could get in the private sector.

As for whether a diversity department is necessary, there's still significant inequality out there and getting a useful college degree can go a long way to rectifying that. Diversity is far more than the narrow view the right has of it.

It adds nothing to the quality of education and it’s one more reason why the price of tuition is skyrocketing. This is the result of federal student loans been handed out like candy

Totally agree. However if they stopped paying Urban Meyer et. al. $10M per year they could reduce tuition by doing that as well

This kind of thing is prevalent throughout the public sector.

For example, take a look at the salaries of people working at PBS vs the private sector.
