This is prima facie evidence of the socioeconomic disaster you speak of. Colleges flush with money blowing hundreds of thousands of dollars on DEI training and commissars.
Funny story, telling people that "whiteness" is to blame for everything doesn't improve mental health problems or student satisfaction.
Yes! I'd love to do math, but we're two lectures in, and the professor is still making land acknowledgments... Very satisfying.
