GMU Race-Based Discrimination Is Unconstitutional | Bacon’s Rebellion
As part of a new anti-racism push, George Mason University plans to discriminate based on race in favor of faculty of color. On July 23, Dr. Gregory Washington, the president of GMU, announced that We will develop specific mechanisms in the promotion and tenure process that recognize the invisible and uncredited emotional labor that people of color expend to learn, teach, discover, and work on campus.
Dr. Washington announced these proposals in the context of the national conversation about race following the murder of George Floyd. His goal is establishing George Mason University as a national exemplar of anti-racism, with a metric-driven, mandatory vision of anti-racism to be pursued by each college and school, incorporated into the university s planning and budgeting process.
I’m not sure “anti-racism” is the best name for this.
