"Sandra Mitchell, UND Associate Vice President for Diversity and Inclusion"

 

Leave it to the geniuses in academia to come up with a boondoggle like this.  Were it not for academia and the ongoing taxpayer shakedowns to fund it, one with such a "title" would be warming up fries at an Arby's.  1.3 trillion of taxpayer guaranteed student loan debt has created quite an ox that's starting to be gored by the sheer weight of inexorable and inevitable economic reality.  Nationally, fewer and fewer are willing to incur thousands and thousands of student loan debt to hear someone lecture them about "diversity and inclusion" and "gender equity" only to get a job that pays barely a living salary.  It's the 25 to 30 year-old shower of government guaranteed cash that's created something that collectively is so lacking in intellectual stimulation and creative inspiration to come up with a "position" as vapid, insipid and useless as this.  Nationally, professors are fighting legions of administrators for the ever shrinking trough of money that both groups bathed in for so long.  Now, there are more administrators than one can shake a stick at all making 100K, all drawing taxpayer paid healthcare and retirement benefits and all fighting with faculty to retain their stake of the shrinking pie.  Now, you have a lot of faculty being hired by those administrators on an adjunct basis only - a way for the administrators to keep their gravy train.  It's truly a beautiful thing.  So, these people are all going to go back to their "constituencies" and "stakeholders" to get nickname suggestions for Kelley?  And, everyone will feel really good and "included" in the "well thought-out" and "well-crafted" process?  What a bunch of truly surrealistic nonsense.  The economic door has been kicked in and the whole rotten edifice is starting to falter.  In the words of Bill Murray from one of my favorite movies, "I have to laugh."

In case you didn't notice Chewey, there are several former UND student-athletes on this panel, so get away from the ledge.  Oh, and one more thing, I have worked at UND in some form for 11 years now and the faculty, staff and students I have had the pleasure of working with are anything but leeches on the public dole.  So you can take your anti-government tirade and stick it where the sun don't shine because you don't know what you are talking about. :angry:

Wow...couldn't have said it better. Spot on.  I can't wait til she is introduced somewhere at UND and people thinks its a joke and people start laughing and then realize its a true position?

Read between the lines, he was throwing all of "academia" under the bus, he just used that "one particular position" as a prime example.  And the only reason we have that "one particular position" at UND is because of the Fighting Sioux nickname dispute and all the acrimony it has caused on campus and in the community.  So the real culprit is the NCAA, which started all this nonsense back in 2005.

You have accused me personally several times of "putting words" in your mouth with respect to your posts but now you want to "read between the lines" with respect to what someone else writes?

The ONLY reason UND has this position is because of some t-shirts.

My brother is a college English/Writing and Rhetoric tenured professor at a school in suburban Chicago and he complains about what much of what I stated and I have a couple of friends at a large Minnesota university who share those concerns.  I do only bankruptcy work and I see a lot of student loan servitude and I see people in academia who are being economically restricted.  While I don't know everything, I do have some perspective.  Too much money poured into one thing causes a bubble effect and that's what's happening in education.  Those who are in the trough - the ever shrinking trough - recognize it and they don't like it and they want us to pick up the slack through taxes.  Unlike the "too big to fail" banks, I don't think they'll have the  political clout to insulate themselves from it.
