Too much DEI

Pros

The campus is so beautiful! Some of the students are amazing and truly want to learn how to be the best teachers

Cons

This was a challenging job because there was a lot of crazy diversity and equity training we had to take part in. Not sure if it was university wide or just in the education department. Like we learned that black on black crime “rarely happens” despite the data and that we were told we needed to give our black student extra privileges and better grades. That just felt wrong as we needed to prepare educators and give students who didn’t come to class or do work the same consequences. I found it all very political and the PD lasted two years. I am a minority myself and felt uncomfortable. There was one professor who was outspoken and extremely rude, got upset if we didn’t acknowledge black history month or pride month enough in our classes. I left but have heard this continues. There is a parent group addressing it.

Pros

You can’t make a living as an adjunct in higher education, but it was a nice side gig. The people I worked with were very positive and supportive and I learned a lot as well.

Cons

Higher education is going through a tough time right now and the program I taught in was eliminated. There will be more down siding and consolidation in the years ahead.
