The Diversity Staff at the University of Michigan Is Nearly 100 Full-Time Employees

This is eye-opening. I knew Colleges and Universities have bloated administration cost and insane salaries for much of that adminsistration but I had no idea they employ so many obscenely paid social indoctrination priests. People, stop paying for these useless degrees and useless classes.... please!

What a waste. Get rid of all this waste and lower the cost of college back to reasonable levels. The only reason for all of this cost is that the .gov subsidizes / guarantees massive loans to fools who take useless classes and useless degree programs that will not get them a better job or income and they can never pay it back! Eternal debt.

1. The University of Michigan currently employs a diversity staff of nearly 100 (93) full-time diversity administrators, officers, directors, vice-provosts, deans, consultants, specialists, investigators, managers, executive assistants, administrative assistants, analysts, and coordinators.

2. More than one-quarter (26) of these “diversicrats” earn annual salaries of more than $100,000, and the total payroll for this small army is $8.4 million. When you add to cash salaries an estimated 32.45% for UM’s very generous fringe benefit package for the average employee in this group (retirement, health care, dental insurance, life insurance, long-term disability, paid leave, paid vacation, social security, unemployment insurance, Medicare, etc.) the total employee compensation for this group tops $11 million per year. And of course that doesn’t count the cost of office space, telephones, computers and printers, printing, postage, programs, training, or travel expenses.

We’ve previously noted that the diversity movement is taking on certain aspects of religious faith. It appears, however, that we missed a similarity: Like the priests of ancient Egypt who amassed huge fortunes for themselves and the medieval popes who sold forgiveness and indulgences, the diversity faithful have found profit in their beliefs.

Want to reduce the cost of a college education? "Here's your sign!"......

So why is the Federal government providing loans for this nonsense?

a reply to: seeker1963

I don't know if you know this or not. But the federal government is ...........stupid. Mind control cost a lot.

This is why PC is out of control. These peoples jobs depend on it so they're going to push it at every opportunity.

President Trump will likely be on it in time, draining the swamp by stopping the loans.

I am retired from 20yrs at U of M Medical Center. Once I went union in the late 80's... $$$ was flowing like the Huron River.

I would do up to 90 hrs a week... 50 in o.time... I'd do my 40-Sun 8-Mon-Tues/16 hrs each... So Wed's the phone would ring and I'd take it... O. T., dbl time, holidays-triple time (and I worked that on triple/holiday on o.time).I worked every holiday for the last 7 1/2 years.

As long as there was a body there... they didn't care about how much it cost in wages. Then... crap hit the fan. Union began neg. 's, wages cut... (I retired out then with a 6 figure retirement).

They began to hire only part timers, 2 for 1 40 hr spot so... no o. t., benefits, zip. Nada.

I'm glad I got out when I did... And now theyre throwing the money out again. I'm waiting to see how long these people get what they have now.

NOW... the 40's are back.. and I know eventually what's coming. All across Michigan seems the no-40 hrs to save $$ is how it goes all over... To save on union wages and benefits.......

I will say they get TONS of donations year after year, grant after grant... I did work hard and constantly... But I'm betting most of those mentioned here aren't doing the same....

U of M retiree/EMT

Which works out at 0.4% of the university staff.

Its also worth noting that many of these staff will be doing other roles as well and diversity work will only be part of their workload.

What the hell is a “diversity administrator”? Sounds straight out of INGSOC.

Ok, are these people also teachers and administrators who happen to be listed as Diversity staff?
Meaning these are not full-time diversity employees.
I can't imagine even with busywork keeping 93 people involved.

a reply to: infolurker

My God! How do they have time or money to do any educating or learning when they have a full time staff of 100 people who are doing what exactly and what does it have to do with educating?

Just MOUNTAINS AND MOUNTAINS of money being pissed away on nothing...

Edit- Thank you asktheanimals that makes more sense

Just out of curiosity, what is the makeup of the diversity staff?

Very first name on the list is a professor teaching classes as well. Does this story sound like twisting facts for an agenda? Why yes it does.

don't be dumb enough to go into lifelong debt to go to this school

Second on the list is a doctor teaching head and neck surgery. Clearly just a useless SJW position...

Well, when the whole idea of diversity has become the total opposite meaning of the word? I mean listen to these idiots spouting this diversity nonsense! Basically it has become POC are scared of Whitey, so we MUST be Segregated so that WE feel safe!

Now take that and compare it what MLK died for............

I wonder if they'd create a position for migraineur empowerment? Sounds like a sweet gig. I think I'd be what they're looking for.

Of course, they might balk a bit when I tell them they have to replace all their fluorescent light fixtures to something more migraineur friendly, but it's all about empowerment and increasing diversity, right?

So in other words another POC or White apologist talking about oppression while they are doing better than 90% of every other American?

Stick with the facism the EU is shoving down your throats! People in glass houses.......

I looked up the first 15 people on the list.
It's pretty interesting...

Well, except When "They Brag About It"

This is not a false story.

More on my efforts to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion and end gender discrimination in Michigan

With an army of nearly 100 highly paid diversity employees, UM is obviously investing a huge amount of student, parent, donor and taxpayer dollars to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion. And yet its commitment to diversity apparently doesn’t include enough periodic monitoring of its own programs for compliance. It was only because of my complaints last year that UM agreed to end its practices of illegal gender and race/ethnic discrimination for five faculty awards on the Flint campus and its illegal discriminatory admission policy for a girls-only summer STEM camp.

Really, then why do they brag about the wonderful salaries compared to actual teachers? And please look at their job titles.

www.aei.org...

The average salary for a typical UM “diversicrat” is roughly $92,000. Not bad. It’s $10,000 more than the average annual salary of $82,000 for an assistant professor with a Ph.D. in the College of Literature, Science and Arts (LSA) and only $10,000 less than the average salary for an associate LSA professor of $102,000.
