Remember when the top priority of the academic science community was the study of science? Good times, good times.

Feds give Duke $1.8M to increase diversity of its scientists
Duke University has received $1.8 million from the federal government in order to increase “diversity” in its ranks of student scientists and researchers.
The federal funding will come from the coffers of the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), over the next five years, according to the Duke Chronicle.
The money will go to support the mission of the Duke BioCoRE, program, which is in part to teach bio-students from a variety of backgrounds.
“Duke BioCoRE program is committed to increasing every aspect of diversity within Duke’s bioscience community,” reads the description on the program’s official website.
Dan Janes, a staff member at the NIGMS who helped Duke receive the funding for BioCoRE, told Campus Reform the program’s goal is to help diverse populations acquire their doctorates in the sciences.
“In order to maintain a strong science agenda for the nation we try to diversify the scientific workforce on the underlying principle that a more diverse workforce will generate better science,” he said.
Janes told Campus Reform the lack of diversity in the sciences is due to an older workforce which did not invest the necessary funds for this type of program.
“There are a few different reasons for that [lack of diversity],” he said. “One of them is that the scientific workforce is made up of employees that were hired a long time ago so we have an aging workforce.”

Duke University has had lots of “diversity”, “gender” ethnic, race, you name it. I’m not the only one who remembers Duke’s visa scammer, Fake Dr Anil Potty, the scammer who faked his CV and was raking in vast amounts of money, as a breast cancer researcher, when he wasn’t one. Duke and the US govt that enabled him didn’t do the hard work of actually checking his CV to verify he was what he claimed to be. No, he was instead allowed to play with breast cancer patients, putting their lives on the line. Now, after this blew up in their faces, Duke fired him, and Potty is still in the US, Obama won’t deport him despite his commiting fraud. He’s still going from state to state, allowed to practice medicine til he moves on.
Then let’s not forget Duke’s homosexual pedophile Frank Lombard, he and his “husband” adopted 2 African American children, and Lombard, a professor in Duke’s Health Sciences, who oversaw AIDS research and education as well as grants, was caught streaming video of him sexually molesting one of the children, whom he’d drugged, and offering the child to an undercover FBI agent, if he traveled to Durham, NC to have sex with the child. Lombard’s dispicable behavior was covered up for in a commune of other homosexual/lesbian academics and other lefties, that promote alternative lifestyles in a closed to the public, hush, hush community, called Enos Commons.
There are many other such “diverse” monsters and criminals in Duke and other colleges and universities science and other departments. Obama attempting to dumb down the sciences, as they have done educational fields. It seems that despite of all the importation of third world vermin, who’ve taken our science jobs, despite the fact they aren’t qualified and capable of performing, there just might come a time when employers decide they need scientists who actually know what they’re doing, so Obama hopes to prevent there being any US citizens with science degrees graduating from US colleges and universities.
