University's Top Priority.....

Not Education, Security, or lowering tuition!

I always believed diversity occurred naturally on University campus.

We have been one of the most diverse campuses around for over 50 years.

Why do we need to fix something that is not broken?

It’s all part and parcel of the woke nonsense. It’s not a coincidence that we have Columbus Day sharing the spotlight with Indigenous Peoples Day. It’s not okay that corporations are diverting investors hard earned capital to invest in things counter to their liquidity and well being. It’s not okay to toss out traditional English for diversity sake. That’s on T Joe’s watch.

Divide and conquer, oldest military tactic known to man. Hard to unite when differences are pushed.

“I feel like coming to a privately white institution and just having that group that like not only looks towards black students but tries to help them and guide them to the right path."

When did we become a private university?

About the same time we lacked diversity.

Very poorly written article. The sentence immediately preceding the quote Scotsman posted is, “KATC asked students how they feel about diversity on campus, and what organizations they are apart of.” The next two sentences are quotes from students. Neither indicates being a part of any organization. I am curious what specific question on diversity on campus they were asked. If I had to guess, I would think the quoted student was trying to refer to a “predominantly” white institution (PWI) and was either misquoted or was just trying to use a term for non HBCUs and got it wrong.

I’m sure this article will be heavily dissected. With it being littered with such lazy “journalism” and lacking any real substance, I’m not sure it’s really worth that time.

…..I remember telling kids that LSU meant Let’s Segregate Us….which was quite true for many years!

All I know is that in the early 80's computer science and high math classes, English was a second language to many in each class.

I believe that along with the number of blacks and women enrolled, we have been for a long time one of the most diverse around.

Posted this in a different thread, fits better here. The administration has jacked up priorities. There’s talk of culture, but they’re stuck in the 60’s.

So many ways to improve the spirit at almost zero costs. It’s truly as though we want to be nearly good, but damned well better not get too close to being good.

Therein lies the issue. Get too good/big, harder for Martin Hall to control. I’m becoming more jaded by the day. And I’m pretty sure I’m not alone.

The “stadium renovation”…is quickly becoming either an “I’ll believe it when I see it” or “how many corners are getting cut” situation with me. Seems everything else is going down the toilet at the same time. I’ve seen pretty much this exact movie before with the RCC. I hope I’m wrong, and I’m sure some sunshine pumper will tell me. Don’t bother, I don’t need carbon monoxide inflating my colon.

Other than slapping donors names on things at CF, nothing significant has happened since the drive for the renovation started. And IN GENERAL, the products on the field/court/pitch are becoming accepted mediocre.

Can’t even get a freaking mascot. Too darn worried about feelings…having a diversified mascot. Can’t pull the trigger on that, it explains the game day experience misfires and the stadium. Heck, get a cypress tree for a mascot. Works great for Stanford. Of course, a tree with no nuts not to hurt feelings.

Lead darn it! Somebody, please!
