The University of Tennessee has disbanded its Office for Diversity, including eliminating four staff positions and a $131,365 operating budget.

The $445,000 cut comes after Gov. Bill Haslam allowed a bill passed by the General Assembly that defunded the office to become law without his signature Friday.

The law, which reallocates the money to fund scholarships for minority students in engineering programs, is only in effect for one year.

SOUNDS LIKE a nice start, to me

Particularly in an era when insanity is multiplied in intensity and in numbers soooooooooo outrageously.

Yes, a very good start...
