As long as the taxpayers don't have to pay off their student loans for this degree, they can study whatever they want... but who are we kidding... we know that student debt cancellation is coming. They are going to cancel all debt as a last resort tactic before the fall of the American Empire.
Doesn't sound very diverse to me. It's always the racist white liberals who try to pretend they really do like black people.
I know it may come as a shock, but DEI does not just refer to Black people, or race in general. Not to mention Waltham is 11.7% Asian and 13.6% Hispanic. It is also a city split between historically low income and working class residents and high income tech workers who moved in starting about a decade ago.
There are already colleges offering degrees in "social justice."
They will work the register at Panera Bread and demand that others pay back their college debt, because the world is cruel and their life choices were perfect.
Nah. They'll work for nonprofits that advocate for voting rights, racial and gender equity, rights for disabled people, equity in education, etc.
Although I don't really see a need for a separate major for DEI, those graduates will work in HR, corporate training, corporate consulting firms, nonprofit advocacy, and the like. The school in question is a business-oriented university, so no doubt the major will focus on DEI in the business world.
The field is opening up, although for how long who knows.
Actually, large companies have Diversity teams and Directors of Diversity and Inclusiveness now. So, like it or not, it's at least a degree that will get people a job.
Yes. If for no there reason than EVERY major corporation has D&I departments and they make very good money. So, yes, universities should recognize it as a viable career path. Because as long as there are people like the ones who post here, there will be a need for people to tell them a work what the rest of us know as common sense and humanity.
As a business owner, if I was forwarded a resume for someone and they graduated with this as their college major, I'd throw the resume in the trash where it belongs.

What kind of business do you own? I know in the corporation I work for, the D&I people make vey decent incomes (6 figures) and earn every penny of it dragging people out of the 1950's
Even if you think it's a worthwhile degree and jobs plentiful wouldn't it still be completely pointless once "diversity, equity and inclusion" is achieved at any particular place? If you truly believe in this as a career how could you justify it long term? If you can't, or you think it will be an issue for all eternity, then you've got some serious thinking to do.
