    that's absolutely incredible

    It's also absolutely embarrassing. Is there any push back against this nonsense amongst the students or do they blindly embrace it? I recall some of this BS when I was at UW, but that was eons ago and the folks I studied and partied with found this sort of thing laughable. Only losers in loser programs of study gave more than a corn filled shit about it. If this is truly becoming mainstream on college campuses then we are beyond fucked.

    Seriously, that's encouraging. However, I have spoken to some recent UW grads and I'm told "diversity" courses are becoming the norm, folded into curricula for degrees that really have no room for such nonsense.

    Vice Provost for Inclusive Excellence....wow

    So his job pretty much consists of coming up with nonsense like this all day?

    They had to make diversity a general req because no one would otherwise take them.
    I'm sure it's much worse at smaller private schools like Brandeis and occidental but most don't really give a fuck.
    the problem is more so the professors who encourage it.

    The admin are too big of pussies to expel students who pull fire alarms and block entrances to speakers. Most of the "protestors" don't even attend the school in a lot of cases. It really is pathetic.
