Over 2,600 students could have had free tuition for the cost of IU's ‘Diversity Hiring Initiative’
Kyle Reynolds | September 29, 2021 2:37 PMIndiana University announced recently its new $30 million “Diversity Hiring Initiative," a multi-year fund to accelerate the hiring of “professors from groups traditionally underrepresented in higher education.”
Tuition and fees for an in-state student at IU’s main campus is $11,332 a year, meaning that $30 million dollars could cover one year's expenses for over 2,600 Indiana students.
President Pamela Whitten, who made the details public in an email obtained by
Campus Reform,
boasted September 21 that the fund will “support the academic needs” of the university in a press release.
“Using reallocated funds from non-academic services, as well as external gifts, new faculty positions will be added,” Whitten explained in the university statement. . . .

Today's left-wing education is never about the students, but always about the teachers. They are spending $30 million to expand their faculty and $0 to expand their student body.
