Northern Illinois University (NIU) will host a variety of voluntary faculty training sessions during the spring 2023 semester which emphasize diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and overcoming “white fatigue,” according to the university website.

Faculty Academy for Cultural Competence and Equity (FACCE) will explore topics including white fragility, white fatigue and white guilt, and will explore DEI and how to overcome “injustices” in the classroom, according to its website. Faculty can register for six two-hour sessions scheduled between January-April. (RELATED: ‘It’s A Fad’: Prestigious Business Schools Are Training Students In Woke Capitalism)

FACCE “offers professional development for faculty, instructors, staff, and graduate teaching assistants on a range of issues related to cultural competence and their connections to curriculum, pedagogy, and classroom engagement,” according to its website. It was designed by NIU faculty to address “community” needs.

If I said something like I want a course in black athlete fatigue and black bias is sports, I'd be thrown in prison without a trial. :tongue2:

What about black fatigue in the Hip-Hop entertainment industry?

Hip-Hop needs more Scandanavian representation.
