Brown University unveils $100 million plan to address campus diversity

On another thread I stated Brown was possibly the nuttiest, most PC university in this solar system. This it simply validates my assessment.

"BOSTON (Reuters) - Brown University has unveiled a $100 million plan aimed at boosting diversity on its Rhode Island campus over the next 10 years, including doubling the number of faculty members from minority and other underrepresented populations.

The plan is spelled out in a 19-page document that Brown President Christina Paxson posted on the Ivy League university's website earlier this week.

"Creating a just and inclusive campus community is key to Brown's ambitions as a university," Paxson. "Legacies of structural racism and discrimination in our society and on our campus undermine our goals of being a diverse, inclusive and academically excellent community."

The move follows a suspected assault earlier this month of a student visiting Brown for a Latino Ivy League conference by a university security officer.

It comes amid a wave of protests on U.S. college and university campuses including Yale University, the University of Missouri and Princeton University, over race issues.

The tumult is building on the Black Lives Matter movement that was sparked last year by the police killings of unarmed black men in U.S. cities including Ferguson, Missouri, Cleveland and Baltimore.

The program would provide more support for low-income undergraduates to cover costs such as travel home for family emergencies, health insurance and computers, as well as boost staffing at campus centers focused on minority, female and gay, lesbian, bisexsual and transgender students.

It also aims to double the number of faculty members from "historically underrepresented" groups, such as minorities, women and LBGT groups by adding as many as 60 new faculty members by 2025."

Notice how the plan is not based on quality or raising academic standards. Instead it's designed to appease and promote every special interest group favored by Liberals. Anyone who would send their child to this intellectual fruit cake factory has mush for brains.

Easy to do when you don't care how unqualified they are as teachers. What a waste of money to send a child to Brown!

We absolutely need the private sector involved in running the government.

Look at Apple, or any other successful company; smooth, spotless operations. The private sector gets the job done without any wasted operating capital (CFO's make sure of that).

But, career politicians don't have a clue how to do that, because they don't have to. They have a nearly endless supply of taxpayer cash. Need more money? Raise taxes. No need to innovate or create value – just raise taxes.

It's that opinion that draws me to taking a hard look at Donald Trump's campaign.
