Diversity Boondoggle

[From article]
 Linda Greene, a diversity bureaucrat and law professor from the
University of Wisconsin-Madison, will pull in $250,000 a year in
regular salary, but that’s just the beginning: she’ll receive both a
relocation allowance of $60,000 and 100 percent reimbursement of all
moving expenses, a temporary housing allowance of $13,500, two fully
paid house-hunting trips for two to the San Diego area, and
reimbursement for all business visits to the campus before her start
date in January 2013.
[. . .]
Estimating conservatively, a comparably bulked-up office for San
Diego’s new VC for EDI will run taxpayers close to $1 million a year,
even before the VC’s salary is added in. That million-plus could
easily pay for over a dozen new professors just starting their careers
or for scholarships for many more promising graduate or undergraduate
students.
[. . .]
Despite UCSD’s desperate efforts to give substance to this new
appointment, there is in fact nothing for Greene and her staffers to
do that isn’t already being done.
