Like any good grift, when the time comes to move along, you change your name and start over somewhere else to stay one step ahead of the law. But a College isn’t going to just up and move its campus. It can, however, get creative with names.
Kent State University has embedded DEI efforts throughout its academics and programming in recent years, creating a new Division of People, Culture and Belonging and adding administrators, faculty, and projects centered around the ideology, a College Fix analysis found.
The new division, established in September, merged the Human Resources department and the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion offices. The rebranding came as Buckeye State lawmakers considered legislation to ban mandatory DEI in higher education.
What’s more, Amoaba Gooden’s new title is vice president of the Division of People, Culture and Belonging, according to her faculty bio. She previously served as vice president of the Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion department.
Diversity Equity and Inclusion programs (along with Critical Race Theory and the gender studies basket weaving classes) are Divisive, unequal, and exclusive. They foster distrust, division, and even hate. But the Campus culture is inculcated with that. A process and program, underway for decades, infused with compelled speech components that a college or university accessing public money might have to remove.
Meet the Division of People, Culture, and Belonging.
It’s got a very Maoist ring to it, so I have a few questions. Will belonging apply to all people and cultures and find its way into every office? Old college interview and acceptance rules might need to be scrapped. Anyone with a pulse should be admitted to Kent State (so they feel like they belong) without regard to their ideological or fiscal culture or quantity of belongings.
Undergraduate tuition & fees at Kent State University are $11,373 for Ohio residents and $20,287 for out-of-state students. That’s an unjust class structure abusing people because they belong to another state.
Fini! No more.
What else? Grades have to go. We’ve seen it in progressive bivouacs like Oregon. Math and reading are racist. Grading and achievement are racist. Assigning ratings of any sort makes people feel left out. Team sports? Same problem. The ‘everyone gets a trophy’ generation needs more than a trophy. They need to feel like they belong. Put them on the team and not just on a bench.
Gotta ditch Tenure. You mixed HR and DEI, and nothing says white privilege culture like tenure.
I’m sure there are other opportunities, but you get the point. Not that anyone at Kent State would ever do anything other than protect the destructive agenda of DEI in whatever form they could manage, regardless of how it might contradict the actual operation or culture.
And hey, it is named the Division of People, Culture, and Belonging. Division is in the name, and that’s what we’ll get. So, more of the same.
