Diversity staff at major universities tends to outnumber history professors: Report
Fox News
A new report is criticizing what it calls administrative "bloat" in universities where diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) staff purportedly outnumber professors in prominent schools’ history departments.
The numbers translated into the average university seeing 3.4 staff promoting DEI for every 100 tenured or tenure-track faculty members. For history departments, DEI staff was 1.4 times larger than the number of professors. Meanwhile, DEI staff tended to outnumber by a factor of 4.2 the staff dedicated to helping students with disabilities. Tuesday’s report comes amid a raging debate over educational institutions’ so-called "equity" initiatives, fueling conservatives’ concerns about ideological bias in academia.More Related News
