STOP CRYING WITH YOUR MOUTH FULL. The National Association of Scholars interviews an administrator who is trapped in the Diversity Boondoggle and wants a different sort of assignment. Her supervisor is also trapped.
Then she asked if I'd be interested in working with students who are first in their family to go to college. She basically suggested the same job I have now; the offices just have different names. She forgot the purpose of my visit: TRANSFER, PLEASE. Perhaps she couldn't reconcile my looks with the difficulty I was having with campus diversity practices. There I was, just one person sitting there, but she was seeing a group. I don’t understand how Virginia Tech or any other institution fails to see the anger, resentment and the racial hostility promoted by diversity mandates, or the harm they do to individuals who reject the notion that skin color defines who they are. This is what that "advantage" has done for me. I can't get out of this quagmire. An Ed.D conferred in June and my experience as a manager mean nothing. The only work I can get here involves diversity programs.
Here's somebody who could be fast-tracked at least to a vice-provost position, with the credentials to be able to do for higher education what the colleges of education have done so well in K-12, and who is in a position where "I'm offended" suffices to mau-mau most people, and the opportunity to send to reeducation camp recommend participation in a workshop her colleagues run takes care of the rest, and her request is TRANSFER, PLEASE. Go figure.
