The $8m per year, which is part of a deficit , frees Stanford to invest the money where it feels it is needed most.  Based on The President’s recent message, one of those needs is for 20 new professorial billets and large scale sensitivity training to combat the racism that has infected Stanford. It helps to accept these cuts if they can be seen as enabling other priorities.  Again, I think we have to trust Stanford leadership to makes those resource allocation decisions.

I note that President Eisgruber of Princeton noted the (presumably) same systemic racism at Princeton, and now the Department of Justice is investigating Princeton's racism.  I imagine that, as an admittedly racist institution, Princeton's Federal funding may be at risk.

I wonder if Stanford is similarly at risk?

Gotta chuckle when an organization gets caught openly admitting their current and former systemic racism, when for years they've been collecting federal cash claiming the exact opposite. Whoops.

Hum, sensitivity training for a bloated staff versus men's volleyball, fencing, co-ed sailing, etc. Shameful. . . .
