Diversity or Bust at UW

Glenn Ricketts

In his latest blog post at CHE, Peter Wood takes an extended look at last week's not-so-spontaneous "diversity" demonstration at UW/Madison, which disrupted a press conference and was apparently given a very encouraging push by a senior UW administrator. Not only is the university shameless in its use of racial preferences, it's evidently untroubled by rough house tactics instigated by one of its deans to prevent any kind of criticism of them on campus. At this point, you almost have to wonder if such activity was written into his job description.
