Insurance policy.
With all the SJW/PC trends and recent events, smart move on UF’s part.

We just had a fake racism story that got launched by a couple dozen news agencies -- PR matters, and while I abhor what's going on this makes sense in the grand scheme of things.

This is the result of the PR nightmare that was our graduation. We now live in a SJW world for better or worse it seems it’s here to stay. Adapt or die.

That was such a goddamn bullshite story, too. Twitter manwhore who graduated from Florida just to try and throw the University under the bus immediately after. I hate that dude with all of my heart because he knows it didn't just happen to black students.

And what would this person have done about that?

Overseeing several programs is a pretty big job. The pay is a tad high but not by much given the scope.

You’re right but all that matters is what makes front page news. People aren’t interested in truth they are interested in confirming what they already think they know. Maybe this will help stem the garbage racist tag Gainesville has in the eyes of some people.

Diversity is another word for unqualified

A buddy of mine's mom does a similar job at UNF... and she's a damn treasure any school would be lucky to have. Was a teacher for 30 years and was chairwoman of the duval school board for a term or 2. Her husband recently retired as a private practice podiatrist to help at the VA hospital. Literally could not find better people in our city than them.
I get this may not be representative of all in these positions, but i can only judge by those who I actually know.

I’m not sure they would have done anything, this is all optics. Hire someone who makes it look like we are trying to fix the problem, and maybe the media will give us a break in the future. Who knows if this will work but I guess in the eyes of the administrators it’s better than doing nothing.

That's a lot of money for a safe-space supervisor.

Those degrees are absolutely pathetic.

I got news for you man, these positoins will do nothing to help those news stories. They will only make it worse. These 'diversity officers' want a raise, they want more money for their department so they can hire their friends, and they want notoriety so they can give interviews and rub elbows the SJW-writ large community. This is all accomplished by pointing out how terrible the university is, how bad the culture is on campus, that you and all the other alums are racists and bigots and allowed all of this bad stuff to happen, and how many new initiatives are desperately needed.
Mark my words - this position will make life worse for UF and embarrass you as an alum / fan. Diversity officers are an absolute cancer for a university.
UF alums should be ripping the a-hole out of their weak arse president. He has caved in on every conceivable issue there. He's a beta if there ever was one.
ETA - This guy is going to start mandating additional extra training and so forth for employees and students. He is going to remove at least $2 million from UF's bottom line each and every year he's employed. That money can do wonders for improvements to libraries, classrooms, etc. This is a net loss for the university on every concievable level.
