The university sent its faculty an email detailing this new agenda, offering $3,000 to professors who will redesign their existing curricula to “better advance the tenets and charge of the University’s commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Social Justice.”

“This announcement offers a competitive grant opportunity designed to support faculty who are interested in redesigning and aligning existing course syllabi with the goals established by the workgroup entitled, Infusing Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Social Justice into Existing Courses/Curriculum,” reads the university’s email.

The monetary incentive will be given in two installments of $1,500 – one after the redesigned syllabi are submitted, and the second installment will be given after the professor actually teaches according to the new lesson plans.

The participants will also have to submit a 500-word narrative describing how they approach DEI while teaching. They must also share how their DEI philosophy informs their approach to syllabi design.

“We’ve had a hard time retaining good faculty at our salary levels,” an anonymous faculty member told The Washington Free Beacon, “so anytime you see money being spent on non-student or non-faculty causes, it makes you scratch your head… Could this money be spent on students or retaining quality faculty rather than a progressive agenda that isn’t likely supported by the taxpayers or voters of Tennessee?”

This faculty member at the University of Memphis takes issue using the school’s funds in this manner. He believes there are many more important things that the money could be used for, and which might actually garner support from locals and taxpayers rather than angering them.

“I think the taxpayers of Tennessee should be aware that the administration is prioritizing spending money on systemic racism above retaining faculty, staff, cost-cutting, or lowering tuition,” the professor added.

As the professor points out, there are a lot of different ways the university could use this money, many of which would be more beneficial to the university in the long run.

The professor also admitted that he is concerned that apolitical courses will now be aimed at turning students into activists. “I’m not sure how changing an accounting, nursing, or engineering course to align with social justice principles helps students,” he said. “When faculty are underpaid in the first place, it’s hard to blame them for taking this money. But it creates an incentive for a nonpartisan instructor to turn their students into activists for a few extra dollars.”

No student needs to learn about DEI in a physics class or calculus class. Instead of prioritizing important programs, or using their money to improve the school for the students, the University of Memphis is trying to force politics and racial issues where it doesn’t belong.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?

The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong. If you have any questions as to our mission or methods please reach out to us at [email protected].
