These employees work for the school\u2019s Division of Equity and Inclusion, which spends $25 million a year on its workers and programs.<\/p>\n<p>These programs, according to the document, include \u201cstaff diversity formal collaborations with People &amp; Culture, the Othering &amp; Belonging Institute, the American Cultures Engaged Community teaching program, the Basic Needs Center, and other programs serving a broad array of constituencies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The document obtained by the Fix was an eight-page job description for the position of Vice Chancellor for Equity and Inclusion. The document also notes that 58% of the $25 million for the department comes from taxpayers and tuition, which they refer to as \u201ccampus and state funds.\u201d Another 31% comes from federal and state public service grants, with the final 11% provided by philanthropy and private grants.<\/p>\n<p>Dan Mogulof, a spokesman for the university, told the Fix that the money spent on the diversity and inclusion department represents less than 1% of the school\u2019s total budget, adding the school has \u201cno plans\u201d to increase the division\u2019s budget. Mogulof said the school was \u201cuncertain why anyone would oppose efforts to ensure that every student on an extraordinarily diverse campus feels a [sic] equal sense of belonging to the campus\u2019s community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More from the Fix:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"21.851595006935\">\n<p><em>By comparison, the University of Michigan\u2019s diversity budget is nearly $7 million per year. In 2018, a state economics professor&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecollegefix.com\/university-of-michigan-pours-almost-7-million-per-year-into-diversity-payroll-benefits\/\">caused a stir<\/a>&nbsp;when he reported that Michigan paid roughly 50 diversity employees.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>According to the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2016\/07\/why-diversity-programs-fail\">Harvard Business Review<\/a>, thousands of studies have been conducted over the past several decades to determine whether diversity programs work, and few have shown any benefit.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIt shouldn\u2019t be surprising that most diversity programs aren\u2019t increasing diversity,\u201d the authors found. \u201cDespite a few new bells and whistles, courtesy of big data, companies are basically doubling down on the same approaches they\u2019ve used since the 1960s\u2014which often make things worse, not better.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The authors of the study found that \u201cforce-feeding\u201d diversity can actually \u201cactivate bias rather than stamp it out,\u201d a consequence that works to the benefit of those demanding more money for diversity and inclusion departments.<\/p>\n<p>As reported by the Fix, the job notice for UC-Berkeley\u2019s new vice chancellor position contains numerous current \u201cbuzzwords\u201d surrounding diversity. The job notice states that the new hire will \u201cadvance Berkeley\u2019s public mission and goals of becoming a Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) and an anti-racist campus by boldly establishing new paradigms and implementing strategies and tactics that further embed diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging, and justice practices into the fiber of the Berkeley campus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Fix pointed out that despite the massive budget, just 3.7% of Berkeley\u2019s undergraduate students in the 2020-2021 school year are African-American. Another 18% are Hispanic. Left out of the job notice is the fact that 39% of the student population is Asian.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
