" The University of North Carolina at Wilmington saved some money by lumping together two science departments and raised spending on its five diversity-multicultural offices."

"But, to quote George W. Bush, is our students learning? Not very much, concludes the California Association of Scholars in its 87-page study of the University of California system..."Students aren't required to study American history or Western civilization. But they're subjected to a lot of political indoctrination by leftist activists."



Colleges Skimp on Science, Spend Big on Diversity - Michael Barone - Townhall Conservative Columnists

Idiots. We are turning into a country of blathering, politically correct idiots.

Admit it.

You creationists hate science with a passion, anyway.

Citizens choose their states, not the other way around.

You know where the state line is. Cross it. Then don't come back across it again.

But, of course, keep your wallet out.

"The federal government does make federal grants to state universities."

Don't worry, we will just fill those higher paying difficult math and science type jobs with people from overseas.

The people majoring in diversity can wait tables and ***** and moan about their 1500/month student loan bill. <shrug>

I have taken my kids to college fairs. All 3 want science majors and the first thing they tout is their diversity. The kids don't care about that. They want a school where their education is the priority, not the graduating class photo.

No, but the solution isn't whining about it on C-D either.

Again, you don't have to go to school in the UC system if you find it so abhorrent. Or don't send your kids there. I have to pay taxes for a lot of things i don't like and YOU supported. Dumb wars for example. So you're paying for colleges and you don't like some of the things they do with the money...

Welcome to America.
