I’ll bet that underpaid adjunct faculty would love to have some of that $15 million. And, if they don’t want it, I’m pretty sure that $15 million would pay for lots of policemen, firemen, teachers, social workers, etc…

“The ideology behind DEI views the world through the lens of race, sex, gender, and sexual identity, dividing society into oppressors and oppressed, between the privileged and the marginalized.” Right, of course! If we only adopted the conservative ideology that DOESN’T identify people by race, sexual preference, gender, rich and poor…you know, that conservative ideology…

Suppose UVA had taken the money and spent it on scholarships and grants for low-income students. Add in some money for room and board. Let’s say $75 K per student. 200 students. This puts things into perspective.

You could use this logic for pretty much anything not directly subsidizing students? I mean, why does any school need a football program, or a arts program, or have nice buildings, or capital improvements?
-
None of those involve suspect classifications under constitutional law. Public colleges and universities are free to give additional assistance to qualified low-income students. Isn’t that the supposed target group?

DEI is not unconstitutional. And it won’t be, even when the SCOTUS strikes down use of race is admissions this summer.
-
That makes no sense whatsoever unless you share Donald Trump’s view that individuals can say what the Constitution means. If you can do it, so can everyone else.
-
What? I’m not sure what you mean. The use of race in admissions is a separate issue than wanting to increase the diversity of a student body. The latter is constitutional and an ends. The former (a method) will likely not be by August.

The General Assembly includes a redundant upper chamber costing millions while contributing to legislative gridlock, the death of vital legislation. Compared to the DEI “problem” at UVA, the state Senate is far more wasteful and ineffective. Start at the top of useless government spending.

Have at it, Jim.
Senator George Norris pulled it off in Nebraska. He did state that he wore out two sets of tires driving around Nebraska pushing for the constitutional amendment. https://nebraskalegislature.gov/about/history_unicameral.php
It is obvious that the purpose of this study was wider that just looking at the cost of the DEI bureaucracy. It was a continuation of the attack on DEI being waged by the Jefferson Council and others.
That being said, I am appalled at the size of these DEI bureaucracies. I may be naive, but it seems to me that, if a college president or Board of Visitors wanted to make DEI a part of its overall philosophy ( and who can argue against diversity, equity, and inclusivity?), it need only instruct the school’s deans and department heads that such an approach should be followed. A good college president should be able to tell whether those directives were being implemented and replace those deans or department heads who were not being aggressive enough. The president of a college or university should set the tone and others follow. No massive bureaucracy should be needed.
As for those bureaucracies, someone (Jefferson Council?) should ask the administration what exactly does each one of those DEI staffers actually do?

You anticipated my thoughts exactly!

I wonder what the ratio of racial, religious, ethnic, etc. diversity of the DEI staff is?

among the very concerning parts of this is that it is a well-known truth of university administrations that the first job of administrators is to ensure their own continued employment.
unlike most other administrative positions, though, DEI positions appear to have a singular problem to solve: making the campus more diverse (and equitable and inclusive).
successfully doing that would contradict the first job of administrators.
the second job of administrators is to show that more administrators are needed. again, successfully reaching DEI goals is at odds with that.
given what universities including UVa do not spend a great deal of money on (basic educational expenditures, although obviously UVa does more of this than other VA schools), this amount of money on DEI is really hard to believe. let alone that it is predicated on the idea that universities are institutionally incapable of/unwilling to do anything about racism. the very fact that they can so quickly spend so much money on it, especially given what they won’t spend money on, makes for very strange optics as it would seem to contradict the reason it is said that they need so many resources to begin with.
Defund the Police? Crime comes free of charge, and so does bigotry. You have to pay to keep them at bay.
What does an compliance officer do?
Compliance officers make sure companies and organizations operate in full compliance with legal regulations and industry-specific guidelines. They also monitor internal policies and bylaws. In the event of regulatory risks or misconduct, compliance officers address concerns and find solutions to these challenges.
Can you make a lot of money in compliance?
Yes, compliance officers make good money.
However, salaries can range from about $52,000 a year to about $95,000 a year. As always, salaries can vary greatly depending on location, prior experience, and other factors.Feb 9, 2022
There may be a problem here.
Are any of these positions required for the receipt of Federal funding and grants? You may have discovered a problem, but not the true source.
Taking some of that money and paying their students to tutor reading and math in low income schools would lead to a lot more equity in the long run.
