VMI's first Black Superintendent Blasts Opposers of Diversity Reform

2022-01-29

[The ROOT - 'The Blacker the Content the Sweeter the Truth'] Virginia Military Institute superintendent and retired Army Maj. Gen. Cedric T. Wins went to Facebook to respond to a white alumnus who questioned his push for diversity and inclusion at the college, reported The Washington Post. The newspaper claimed Carmen D. Villani Jr. had warned fellow graduates on a radio show that critical race theory had ’entered the VMI realm’ (as if it’s some alien object entering Earth’s atmosphere).

The institute had requested $6.1 million to begin an investigation to examine its ’racist and sexist culture,’ reported the Post. The money would also go toward expanding their Title IX offices by adding admissions counselors to cater to underrepresented students and rebrand the college’s Confederate ’tributes.’ Wins responded to Villani’s remarks about expansion of DEI in t - he VMI Facebook group.

From The Washington Post:
Where I go for all my nuus.

#4 BLM finished 2020 with $60 million in the bank. They're in turmoil. They fired Cullors, the founder, for corruption & embezzlement. All the BLM leaders have run off.

Where did the $60 million go?

#2 Looks like this buffoon answers to the Governor of Virginia:

Governance
The Board of Visitors is the supervisory board[13] of the Virginia Military Institute.[14][15] Although the Governor is ex officio the commander-in-chief of the institute, and no one may be declared a graduate without his signature, he delegates to the board the responsibility for developing the institute's policy.[15] The board appoints the superintendent and approves appointment of members of the faculty and staff on the recommendation of the superintendent.[15] The board may make bylaws and regulations for their own government and the management of the affairs of the institute,[16] and while the institute is exempt from the Administrative Process Act in accordance with Va. Code (which exempts educational institutions operated by the Commonwealth),[17] some of its regulations are codified at 8VAC 100. The Executive Committee conducts the business of the board during recesses.[14][18]

The board has 17 members, including ex officio the Adjutant General of the Commonwealth of Virginia.[15] Regular members are appointed by the Governor for a four-year term and may be reappointed once.[15] Of the sixteen appointed members, twelve must be alumni of the institute, eight of whom must be residents of Virginia and four must be non-residents; and the remaining four members must be non-alumni Virginia residents.[15] The Executive Committee consists of the board's president, three vice presidents, and one non-alumnus at large, and is appointed by the board at each annual meeting.[18]

Under the militia bill (the Virginia Code of 1860) officers of the institute were recognized as part of the military establishment of the state, and the governor had authority to issue commissions to them in accordance with institute regulations.[15] Current law makes provision for officers of the Virginia Militia to be subject to orders of the Governor.[15] The cadets are a military corps (the Corps of Cadets) under the command of the superintendent and under the administration of the Commandant of Cadets, and constitute the guard of the institute.[15][19]

#1 Care to imagine what Superintendent Wins' leadership and diversity opinions might have been while he was still on active duty ?
