This professor refused to take mandatory diversity training. His university backed down.https://www.thecollegefix.com/this-professor-refused-to-take-mandatory-diversity-training-his-university-backed-down/In August 2020, Converse College Professor Jeffrey Poelvoorde was sent a letter from a provost with an ominous message.
If the scholar did not complete his employer’s mandatory diversity training, “Converse will take appropriate corrective action, up to and including termination of your employment,†the letter stated.
Today, some eight months later, and Poelvoorde still has not taken the mandatory diversity training. Nor has he been fired. Nor has he heard anything from his bosses on the matter.
Poelvoorde had and has no certainty the college wouldn't and won't retaliate. Sadly, we are at the extreme of normal people having to risk their jobs and careers to push back against race-baiter thugs (including the thugs who wear college gowns).
