I'm just as cheered as any other hate-filled reactionary by the recurring news stories about universities shutting down their DEI offices — most recently, just this week, the University of North Carolina.

Yes, it's good news. There's a way to go yet, though.

I just spotted on Twitter a chart showing the highest paid DEI staff at the University of Virginia.

These are just the highest paid, mind. Just to read off the top three names to you (all black males) with their job titles and total remuneration (salary plus benefits):

• Martin N. Davidson, [Email him] Senior Associate Dean & Global Chief Diversity Officer, $587,340.
  
  
• Kevin G. McDonald, [Email him] VP for DEI & Community Partnerships, $521,905.
  
  
• Tracy M. Downs, [Email him] Chief Diversity & Community Engagement Officer & Professor of Urology, $405,600.

And so on down the list for a total ten names, total remuneration $3,265,171.

Do I need to issue the call again? OK, I shall: DEFUND THE COLLEGES!
