Towson University president latest to cave to ‘Stands With Mizzou’ protester demands
Interim President Timothy Chandler of Towson University near Baltimore, Maryland, has signed a document “affirming his intention to actively address or advocate for a list of demands” brought forth by a group of black protesters.
The group had occupied Chandler’s office “until they were satisfied with [his] response.”
The president was apparently sufficiently groveling, thanking the students for their “terrific work” and saying he admired their “courage” and “stick-to-itness.”
Some of the “sincere” and “swift” institutional changes Chandler signed off on (again, merely to “affirm his intention to actively address or advocate”) include:
— increasing the number of tenure track black faculty by 10% by 2018
— ensure every college/department has one meeting per semester devoted to “cultural competency” … content approved by a student representative
— advocate that fraternities and sororities have “Diversity Chairs” who will advocate for (what else?) diversity

I wonder if they’ll have “diversity chairs” at Omega Psi Phi, Alpha Phi Alpha, Sigma Pi Phi, or Kappa Alpha Psi. Somehow I rather doubt it.
A college degree is becoming increasingly irrelevant. Between the nonsense of the protesting babies and STEM students unable to get jobs because of importing foreign tech workers, what’s the point of going to college? Seriously. Stay at home and become a true renaissance man by utilizing your local library. You’ll save a ton of money and actually come out knowledgeable at the end of the process ~
