Just when I’m thinking things couldn’t get crazier I see something like this. It’s actually a December 6th tweet from Mark Perry, Professor Emeritus of economics at the University of Michigan. Tweet:
Just out today: Ohio State University has a small army of 132 "diversicrats" at an average salary of $77,000 and total estimated payroll cost of $13.4m, which would cover in-state tuition for 1,120 students.
… except that Prof. Perry includes in his tweet an image of the complete list, all 132 of them. It starts off with Keesha Mitchell, Associate Vice President,
Office of Institutional Equity, salary $289,600. Then it works its way down through the ranks to, at the bottom, Ashley Van Hesteren and Mary Robinson, both listed as Program Assistant, Diversity and Inclusion, although at very different salaries: $36,840 for Ms. Van Hesteren and only $26,490 for Ms. Robinson. I’m sure there’s a good reason for that. Perhaps Ms. Robinson is not, in her person, as diverse and inclusive as Ms. Van Hesteren.
What on earth do they all do the livelong day?
Well, here’s a clue: they set up events similar to this one. From Daily Caller.
The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) shelled out nearly $45,000 for an evening with Boston College professor and "anti-racist scholar" Ibram X. Kendi, according to public records obtained by The Federalist … Kendi was paid $30,000 for a 60-minute event conversation, $5,000 for a 45-minute meet-and-greet with UWM student leaders, $5,000 for a 60-minute professional development session with select UWM faculty and staff, and an additional $3,500 for airfare and meals for two people, according to public records requests.

Pretty nice. I don’t blame Kendi for milking the rubes. My question is: Is there a chamber of Hell hot enough for the college bureaucrats who subject their students to this poisonous dreck under the pretense it is a form of higher learning?
