January 29, 2003
in case you were wonderingremember that diversity committee i wanted to be on? well, i was finally told why i'm not (but only after asking).
our vice president, et al, decided that i shouldn't be on it...not despite my efforts on last year's diversity plan, but because of them. i had made a comment about the departmental climate for glbt staff—a comment that, by the way, was deleted before the plan was submitted to the university president—that they apparently didn't like.
i really don't like the thought of vice presidents and such, sitting around discussing my merits (or lack thereof). but worse yet is that they're forming a committee that is a total farce. they don't want any real change to happen. they just want to keep hiring 1 or 2 people of color every other year and call themselves compliant.
i honestly don't know why i was surprised. actually...i really wasn't. i was only trying to give the proverbial benefit of the doubt to people who don't deserve it. that, combined with hoping that i might be able to make some kind of difference, to help effect some kind of positive change, even if only on some small level.
alas...mistakes i make too often.
