DEI Dominates the University of Kentucky

[vhcat70]

Since this is about UK, I thought it deserved its own thread.

"The University of Kentucky is in trouble. Though a conservative state legislature has been in power for more than a decade, university administrators have created a sprawling DEI bureaucracy that encourages racial discrimination in hiring and scholarships, attempts to control students’ “unconscious thoughts and behaviors” through mandatory diversity training, and even requires new building projects to allocate up to $1 million toward public artwork that pushes left-wing ideology."

Thats absolutely sickening. My alma mater has fallen. Forced indoctrination and reverse discrimination is everything a learning institution should run from, not embrace.

I'll root for our sports teams but the university itself can rot in hell.

This dude lives in the Pacific Northwest, aren't those all woke people? Are we gonna let them tell us how to run our schools? Lol

 

[bigblueinsanity_rivals250340]

Every dei position should be eliminated immediately. So should most every other high paying administrative job in n public education.

Saw a report yesterday that Jefferson county public schools has 98 administrative positions making over 100k per year while also having a massive school bus driver shortage because 1) god awful handling by administration of routes, etc and 2) low pay especially when considering item 1.

You can only imagine the bloat in higher education. Fire them all. Give the money to the teachers, bus drivers, janitors.

DEI is a huge grift.

This just proves both sides will complain no matter what. Conservatives practically have a dream state in KY (minus one well-liked governor who doesn't have all that much power). We've got two blue mid-sized cities that no one outside of the state thinks about (minus one weekend in May) and the rest of the state is ruby red. Yet righties would have you believe we're still rotten to the core and it's because of those damned lefties in *checks notes* Kentucky.

Oh well, glad we've got a conservative site telling us UK is in trouble and public artwork is bad. We need a meme that says Right Left Red Blue The Media Biden Trump Abortion Guns Woke Cancel Beer Chicken Sandwich Books Artwork Teachers Masks...Y'all Mad Yet?

 

[roguemocha]

I’m not mad, I don’t care about any of it, but I wanted you all to know that I don’t care about it is all.

But honestly, you all should totally focus on hating Left and Right while they both laugh and bleed you dry.

Both “sides” are absolute fools as they keep you all mad about trivial ******** while they give all your money to foreigners and themselves.

For sure though, let’s get mad about this, totes important.

 

[WayneDougan_rivals170043]

It isn't "both sides". There is only one side that is pushing DEI. And they are about to get burned to the ground.

In other words, discrimination is okay with you. Just look away and accept it. Nice.

DEI = Didn't Earn It

So you're saying discrimination is OK as long as most of the state is red? Weird take but OK.

Without question, the biggest DEI push right now is to broaden the ridiculous practice to include Jews.

DEI, Trannies, Illegal Immigrants all just a bunch a boogie men none of us ever see in real life, Created to freak out dumb people into watching Fox News.

BS

 

[LordEgg_rivals16573]

A good buddy of mine is an illegal immigrant. I live across the road from two transexuals and know a dude who was hired into the oid at UK…he went to another position after a couple of years. So I actually know all of the above in real life. I just don’t care. I would prefer not to subsidize it.

I see trans people daily. And I didn't care about DEI until they started coming for video games and movies. Modern gaming and movies are unwatchable and unplayable slop.

I thought UK would’ve been more prepared to defeat the Dominican Engineering Institute. Mitch has got to go!

The fools who believe you need to be sexist and racist to stop sexism and racism now evidently believe you can stop antisemitism with antisemitism.

These people need to be harassed mercilessly. It’s primarily the freaks and geeks so it shouldn’t be that hard.

That's what I don't understand. The people who seem most upset about people not being treated the same are the first one to be for just automatically discriminating against whole groups of people strictly on race, gender or religion.

 

[LordEggForgotHisPassword_rivals]

Its the lightweight left that does this. The sincere left does not, and they do exist. These are people who don't understand people and are emotionally immature. They are heavy on appearances, and light on substance. They confuse style with morality all the time. They cannot grasp the right to disagree. They mistake those that do not share their style as being morally less-than. And that defines them, in my mind, as the enemy of liberalism to the extent liberalism means anything.

 

[vhcat70]

^ Then the UK Administrators that set this up & promote are the lightweight left?

 

[LordEggForgotHisPassword_rivals]

^Yes, they are awful and concerned about their own hides and operate in a land that is disconnected from the rest of the world's reality.

Now even in the game MLB the show you have the option to play as a woman to be a "pioneer" and they have some woman "analyst" that sounds like a retard. It's annoying.

 

[JimmyWa11]

DEI, especially in government and universities, is simply repacked Marxism.

Read America's Cultural Revolution for the detailed history of how the 60's Marxists shifted strategy toward changing society through "DEI" bureaucracy.

Wow, absolutely wow.

I didn't buy the show 24. I'm still on 23. I mostly play on PC anyway. I use my PS5 for some sports games and stuff that isn't on PC. Most Sony games are mad woke because they moved from Japan to California. On PC you can pirate that slop if you want, or wait for a steam sale and get it for pennies on the dollar.

 

[JonathanW_rivals]

Interesting, considering that far-left liberal arts UNC has realized DEI is not the solution

Stop calling them liberals. They are not. They're bolsheviks.

Watch this sometime.

It boils down to, the modern marxist leftist sees the smaller country in any war, as an oppressed country held down by a colonialist power. So they therefore cannot side with the other bigger enemy. Because they are siding with the ''oppresors''. This is how you start siding with jihadi terrorists.


This is also why you have this push in America to hate everything America because the land was ''stolen'' from ''natives''. Oppressed minority vs colonalist ''empire''. Who weren't native to this place either, but walked over here on the land bridge.

 

[phunterd]

This. The modern left is in no way liberal.

 

[RMP82]

How about just giving **** to people who deserve it. You have a job opening as a laborer? Well guess what? I’m more qualified than a woman. My strength allows me to do 3x the work in half the time.

Black guy with a good education is up for a job against a white male that doesn’t know how to tie his own shoes? F skin color, the more qualified black guy gets it.

You have some gay man dressed in a mini skirt and wearing make with 3 years experience who wants a job as a computer programmer. You have a straight white male with 8 years wanting the job? I’ll be damned if Rupaul deserves it. Get the jobs and opportunities based on qualifications, not demographics. This inclusive ******** is more racist/sexist than blatant racism itself.

There are things I think are morally wrong and some I think that are just plain stupid and a cry for attention (tranny stuff) but the root of all humans are the same. No better or worse. The way you live your life is what makes me judge whether you’re no count.

 

[CastleRubric]

DEI is a huge grift.

The recent Marxist style DEI pgms should be eliminated in favor of broader employee hiring &'retention processes

And those need to be closely managed for connections between money invested and value returned

Retention, development and mentorship should be provided to all newcomers equally etc

 

[CastleRubric]

This. The modern left is in no way liberal.

Absolutely true
And thats bad.- learn why!

 

[Ukbrassowtipin]

One of the many reasons tuition is out of control, besides there's no risk to schools to gouge bc the fed gives anyone loans, is bc a major portion of admin staff at schools these days are these lunatics...theres more useless administrative positions then there are actual educators
