I sat in a room of mostly white women at a mostly white university.
The new DEI hire, a Black woman, asked us to describe what we thought the biggest diversity related problem on campus was.
My then supervisor, a white woman with more clout than anyone else in the room, jumped in to speak first.
She said the biggest problem was that white male profs talked too much at faculty meetings.
Not lack of recruitment or retention of faculty or staff or students of Color. Not awful salaries with no raises especially for working-class staff, mostly poc.
Nope. White dude faculty talked too much.
