    Nazis gotta Nazi.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      A public employee's name is public record. If classified, so is their salary.

      Deal with it.

      Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

          Publicizing it for your purposes just flat out wrong. Lots of things are available to the public. That doesn’t make them cannon fodder.

            In general, I’m seeing far too much personal vitriol toward the people in these roles. As if they created them. Like it or not, the institution wrote the job description and advertised the role. Someone interviewed for it and got it. Sure, let’s eliminate the roles and lay them off with some appropriate notice. But if you’re looking for someone to be angry at blame the institution.

            Of course it’s different if someone is known to have done something horrible, like that chick at Columbia who was texting derogatory comments about Jews. But for your average person filling the seat, they don’t deserve personal abuse.

            Only non-witches get due process.

              They are were just doing their job, which is was making people hate white males.

              Just doing their jobs.

                I'd have to disagree. That's situational ethics. if someone did horrible thing X it's ok for me to do horrible thing Y to them. I naively hope for a return to civility someday.

                Again though, that's IF this is true. I haven't heard anything else about it so it may not be.

                    It's funny how they manage to jam a "meritocracy" into a DEI office. I mean, how else would they possibly justify the salaries of the top people?

                    Education is extremely important.

                      Not that it affects his point at all, but I’m calling BS on his math. Ain’t no way that’s 125 teachers.

                        I also question that there are 52 people dedicated to DEI.

                              I’m not disagreeing, but is the guilty party the X poster, or the newspaper and/or the journalist that put it together?

                                All of the above. They all did it. Who did it first may be a difference of degree, but not by much.
