UI gender equity report released

Hmmm....if I wasn't the open minded person I am, I would tend to think this would be sexism, and favoritism of one group over another.

"Hogan asked the ad hoc committee to recommend changes and programs to increase the number of women on the faculty and improve their quality of life, taking into account issues like the support that women receive for research; opportunities for women to develop successful careers as researchers or administrators; and barriers for women to attaining tenure or full professorship."
-------------------------------------
Lucky for me though, I know this kind of stuff doesn't go on, like affirmative action and those types of things aren't racist. Because that doesn't give prejudicial treatment to one group of people over another, right?
I'm sure they're considering the same thing for white males who are over the age of forty.

UI makes harassment training mandatory:
They're going to make new students take this course.....
Yeah, and charge them an extra how many dollars for it? Absolutely ridiculous.

Arizona Sheriff Uses Anti-Smuggling Law to Target Illegal Immigrants:
About damn time! Since our lovely federal government refuses to do anything, basically.
This guy should be "Captain of the Sheriffs" nation wide. This is the same guy that took cable away from the prisoners, the feds told him he had to keep it, so he said okay, I'll give 'em cable and allows nothing but the Disney channel and the History channel.

GO HAWKS!!
