“In 2011, the campus was 63 percent Caucasian,” the May 2 report informs readers, “in fall of 2017, it was less than 55 percent … but there is still much work to do.”

“To further advance its goals of reflecting the demographics of California and creating a more diverse and inclusive campus community, Cal Poly administration has developed the following Diversity Action Initiatives document,” the report states.

In it, administration details a multi-year effort with dozens of intitiatives, including ones to further lower the percentage of white students on campus and increase the number of faculty of color.

For students, the school plans on recruiting applicants more heavily based on race. For instance, the school has recently implemented several new scholarships “aimed at recruiting more African-American and other underrepresented minorities.” It’s also working to recruit low-income and first-generation students by partnering with high schools that enroll a high percentage of these students, according to the report.

Cal Poly SLO has eliminated applicants’ ability to apply to the school in Early Decision since the process, according to the report, “disadvantaged low-income students.” All applicants, regardless of their level of interest in the school, are viewed in one big pool in regular decision admissions.

And the college announced its intention of forcibly increasing diversity in “traditionally male-dominated majors” such as STEM and Architecture and Environmental Design, according to the document.

For faculty, the university states diversity will be a criterion considered in cluster hiring faculty “every other year.” And the university has received $150,000 from the Cal State University system “for a cluster hire of up to 10 faculty positions that focus on diversity and inclusion in a variety of scholarly areas throughout the university’s six colleges.”

This fall campus leaders will “require a diversity statement from candidates for all faculty and staff searches,” the report states. It adds that search committees will now be made up of diverse membership and Academic Affairs has “set [an] expectation that search committees will be based on best practices regarding diversity.”

Meanwhile, many initiatives remain in the offing.

For instance, the document calls for the implementation of a “pre-enrollment diversity training for new first-year and transfer students.” This “diversity training” will be in addition to the two mandatory orientation programs — “SLO Days” and “Weeks of Welcome.”

Additionally, “Poly Reps”—the Cal Poly ambassadors who provide campus tours to potential applicants—must now receive mandatory diversity training. Spokesperson Matt Lazier tells The College Fix “unconscious biases could inadvertently come into play” when they gave tours.

Destroying itself, will have to lower standards to start spitting out token female engineers, most womens brains are just not geared for those fields. Just like autism is higher among engineers and much higher among males takes a different type of thinking, same with programming.

Gonna make sure my kids don’t go there! Even though they aren’t strictly white.

Make the whole campus sociology, feminist and ethnic studies, problem solved.

"Whaddya mean Women can't work in STEM?

I work in STEM (as an HR person without the least understanding of IT programming or product development)."

The solution is sumple, really: make your kids mark some "minority" status on their application. My kids are going to be "Hispanic" on theirs even though neither me nor my wife have a single relative of that origin at least 4 generations deep. What are the fucks gonna do to disprove the claim of someone belonging to some ethnic group - measure their sculls?

Is there something known as "Cis-White?" Just like one cannot "assume one's gender" one cannot "assume one's race?" Dios Mio.

I would select American Indian, unless Hispanic gives you a better preferential treatment.

Why not both? Or all?
I choose "other", "decline to state", or if I can, write in human. There is more genetic diversity in Africa, where all humans originated, than in any other continent.

It will put your at disadvantage. We're talking about gaming the system here, not taking a stand.

Destroying itself
Like CCNY did in 1970 with the open admissions policy amidst all the counterculture turmoil--from that point on a degree from CCNY didn't have nearly the prestige of one from a decade or more earlier. They had to start charging tuition in 1976, but remedial classes became necessary as so many unprepared students descended upon it.

Repeat after me:

Reverse Racism is a myth.
Reverse Racism is a myth.
What is simply happening is that your privileges are being removed.
Do not ask why those with far lower test scores are being accepted over far more qualified students.
There is no racial quota.
Reverse Racism is a myth.
