You can’t even trust schools in states as red as Tennessee. Tennessee’s University of Memphis is incentivizing woke teaching. They told teachers if they add Liberal propaganda to their classes, they will pay them more. Students are doomed.
“A public Tennessee university is offering professors financial incentives for “infusing” social justice into their classes.
The University of Memphis told faculty they could collect a $3,000 stipend for redesigning their curricula to align with the university’s commitment to “diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice,” according to an email sent to all faculty obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. The offer is part of the university’s “Eradicating Systemic Racism and Promoting Social Justice Initiative.”
Interested faculty are asked to submit a copy of syllabi to be reworked as well as a 500-word “narrative” on their “diversity, equity, and inclusion philosophy” and how the new lessons will “address disparities” in their subject area.
The stipend offer, from a public university, has triggered concerns from both faculty and lawmakers over the use of taxpayer money. One faculty member who requested anonymity due to fear of retribution said the offer “makes you scratch your head” due to the school’s financial restraints.
“We’ve had a hard time retaining good faculty at our salary levels, so anytime you see money being spent on non-student or non-faculty causes, it makes you scratch your head,” the professor said. “Could this money be spent on students or retaining quality faculty rather than a progressive agenda that isn’t likely supported by the taxpayers or voters of Tennessee?”
What a waste of money. The money could go to just about anything else to be more useful. I hope every school that pushes this liberal propaganda, makes it very public, so students have a chance to choose somewhere better. Students are paying thousands of dollars to take these classes and liberals are changing them into toxic indoctrination sessions.
