What an offensively misleading headline. ~$15.6m a year for employee salaries that only deal with diversity issues is INSANE. Especially with taxpayer money. Sorry y’all but these cuts are a good thing.
Does that include funding for their Institute for Diversity Science and the research they do?
The UW system has approximately 39,000 staff, assuming that 0.5% is diversity (1 out of every 200), and that's about the right $

Is that insane? I don't know much about university funding, how does that compare to other academic departments and athletics?
