I don’t agree that your effort here is “transparent.” You’ve presented an exposé an ting as “data”, but absent complete information & context. For example, the salaries of many of these individuals is based primarily on them being tenured faculty; anyone can find their complete titles and job descriptions on the UVA website. Their salaries are, presumably, influenced by market rates, just like yours is. Some of the folks cited here spend the majority of their time teaching (or learning); DEI is an additional task they have accepted to serve for a period of time. (I do not work for UVA but this seems to be the case.) As a C’ville resident, I think UVA is doing an exceptional job of using Jeffersonian, Enlightenment ideals to ensure that young Virginians of all races, creeds, genders, and backgrounds can apply to participate in broadening their education and serving our communities. DEI serves to welcome & to support non-traditional students—whether a white, first-generation college student, a non-native English speaker, BIPOC student, LGBTQ student or whatever. White males have historically and universally been welcomed & supported; DEI efforts simply ensure that other students receive the same.
The colleges and universities have essentially maimed or killed off their own supply of students, as well as the parents (ie the bill payers) of those students, with the jabs. It's only logical to predict that the enrollments are dwindling at an astronomical rate, and therefore many universities will simply not exist in 5-10 years.
Why do you care? UVA, which was founded by a plantation owner, was built by slaves, and did not admit women or minorities until the 70s, has had to make up a lot of territory to create an equitable experience for its students. I applaud them for taking it seriously.
Ide -- the middle of the month in ancient Rome; Eid -- a muslim holy period; IED -- a really awful bomb; DEI -- the dog whistle of all dog whistles. UVA has a right to figure out how to take Charlottesville off the map of folks who show up with torches and terror. Overkill? When is that NOT the case? But let's leave UVA alone to figure out its way of being in a rapidly changing world. Many, many undergraduates, their families, and alums like me have the patience to let our alma mater figure this all out.
Spot on. Our son was teaching math at UVA. When a full professor job opened up, he applied. Amazingly they had no problem coming out and telling him he was not considered since he is white and straight. He left the university
If the administration and Board of Directors are this reckless with student funds, they don’t deserve to educate ANY of our young adults. Wake up UVA, DEI indoctrination adds no value and is destructive.

This is literally burning money.
Keep up the great work . Make them tell the truth. We are on a course of destruction. Marxism is gaining ground it must be stopped.
Unbelievable 🤬
Destroying the country from within, Liberalism is a mental disorder!

As a parent of a UVA '23 Engineering school graduate who paid full out-of-state tuition for 4 years, my blood is boiling.
Aren’t you double counting here? Davidson is a full professor in the graduate business school and Downs is a professor in the medical school.
Robert Reich doesn't mention this when talking about college being to expensive.

So many ways to do reparations . . . so many ways to shoot yourself in the foot.

It's like trying to teach fish to fly
Cool now do UConn!
