Do you believe that a huge public university should have any interest in having a diverse educational team? Should there be any effort to train and recruit staff who are not white males?
Is there any data which supports the possibility that Black students learn better from Black teachers.. whether it is because they feel a connection to those teachers because of a presumed shared life experience or because a Black teacher might be more likely not be prejudging a Black student?

Is there any data showing that identical papers submitted to a teacher where on one of the identical papers the student is named Jennifer Smith and on the other identical paper it is Shaniqua Jones that the Jennifer paper is consistently given higher grades?

Is the list of employees shown in the National Review article at all evidence of what these employees are doing or just something about their job title. Is the custodian who cleans the office where the vice dean of diversity works, or her secretary.. are those employees listed?

What is the total number of employees on the Ann Arbor campus? What is the total salary and fringe benefit expense of all the employees which might help a casual reader decide whether the itemization of these people is a major expense or a drop in the bucket.

Is justice a good goal for a public institution? The opposite being injustice. Is anyone reading this so blind that they actually think that white males don't have an advantage in America? If you are a white male, quickly answer me, would you rather have lived your life as a Black woman? Would that have been an easier road with fewer obstacles on the whole?
