| College Fix via Instapundit A professor of education and social justice at the University of Birmingham says college trainings designed to help minorities advance are ineffective, and may even bolster "white privilege." Kalwant Bhopal examined 30 interviews of those who attended programs designed to support BMEs (Black Ethnic Minorities), and found that many believed "structural inequalities" were not sufficiently addressed. According to Times Higher Education, at present only 80 of the United Kingdom’s 14,000-plus professors are black. Bhopal, who published her findings in the British Educational Research Journal, said diversity/inclusion programs "benefit higher education institutions rather than contributing to a commitment to inclusion, equity and creating a diverse workforce." They also "perpetuate and reinforce white privilege." |
