I thank the colleague who sent along the following statement.
An abbreviated post of welcoming message for Cal students.
Gotta love the Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) push we are paying for.
Subject: Welcome (back) to campus!
Date: Mon, 20 Aug 2018
From: Carol T. Christ Chancellor
Chancellor's Immediate Office
Dear Students, Staff and Faculty,
I want to begin this back-to-school message with a warm welcome for Berkeley’s new students, faculty, and members of our staff.
Diversity
This year, I will be devoting particular attention to the issue of diversity. One of the boldest goals in our draft strategic plan is to become a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) in the next 10 years. (In a HSI, at least 25% of students are Hispanic; six UC campuses have already earned this distinction). We also must expand our African American and Native American student populations. To achieve these goals within the confines of California law, we will assess our entire admissions process from outreach to yield, and work even more closely with Bridges, our student group that does excellent work with recruitment.
Recruiting a diverse student body is only the beginning. We must assure that every student thrives at Berkeley, not just survives. To achieve this goal, we must guarantee what I call equity of experience—the commitment that all students have equal access to Berkeley’s extraordinary opportunities. This will require greater investment in advising, in navigation tools, in mentoring and community-building programs like Berkeley Connect, and in what we are calling discovery experiences—opportunities for undergraduate research and internships.
Fiat Lux, and Go Bears!
Carol Christ
Chancellor
Typical liberal hypocrite. Squawks about diversity, yet wont even let a conservative speak on campus. BTW, where is Jeff Sessions? His absence in defending the Constitution is very upsetting.

ReplyDeleteP.S.Now let the rapes,murders and drug overdoses of white students begin!!!Enjoy yourselves minorities.

Speaking of diversity,there's no better example of a network attempting to push it full throttle,than CBS' Monday night TV schedule.I've already warned you about Cedric the "Entertainer's" show--"The Neighborhood",a laugh riot(not),in which whites are recast as the "dumb blacks of the 30s and 40s"--but even dumber.That's on at 8pm (for--I have my fingers crossed--4 weeks max before cancellation).
ReplyDeleteFollowing that piece of artistic feces,another diversity promoting program will follow (why deviate from the CBS agenda?),"Happy Together".The name says it all.A white guy (who happens to be a rock superstar)moves into a neighborhood with "regular guy",Damon Wayans Jr and his wife(Amber Stevens West).Both are black (amazingly).Wayans is an accountant with a successful,boring,normal,crime free life (just the opposite of most blacks),when his world gets thrown upside down by the white guy moving in the apartment above them.Racial hilarity will be attempted and failed at.Those poor blacks have to put up with more whiteys that just dont get it.Clips are as unpromising as "The Neighborhood."
I give it an "Avoid"--same as Cedric the Entertainer's disaster.
