Academia’s obsession with diversity is well documented, but this is almost unbelievable.

Intellectual Takeout reports:

Year after year, media note and sometimes bemoan the ballooning cost of higher education…

Universities are large and require administrators to function, of course. The problem is there seems to be no end to the expansion. This point was recently illustrated by Mark Perry, an economics professor at the University of Michigan-Flint.

Perry, who also is a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, used the University of Michigan as an example to highlight the rise of “diversicrats” (diversity bureaucrats) on today’s campuses. The numbers are astonishing.
