WHAT’S WRONG WITH THIS (DIVERSE) PICTURE? America’s colleges and universities are dumping hundreds of millions of tax dollars into staffs and programs designed to make them more diverse. Is it working?

“Colleges and universities have not realized much progress toward ethno-racial and gender faculty diversity in recent years — the exception being a modest increase (between 1-2%) in tenured Asians across institutional types,” claims a study published by the Hispanic Journal of Law and Policy and analyzed this morning by Issues & Insights.

That likely doesn’t surprise you, but Issues & Insights piles up the illustrations that make clear the situation is so much worse: “The University of Texas at Austin has eight vice presidents in its Division of Diversity and Community Engagement, at an annual cost of $9.5 million. UC Berkeley has 175 diversity bureaucrats.” Unfortunately, there are many, many more.
