The University of Michigan continues to exponentially grow the number of staffers dedicated to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion, with at least 241 paid employees now focused on DEI and payroll costs exceeding $30 million annually, according to an analysis conducted for The College Fix.

The payroll costs are $23.24 million for salaries and $7.44 million for benefits, or $30.68 million, an amount that would cover in-state tuition and fees for 1,781 undergraduate students.

Thirteen DEI staff members earn more than $200,000 and 66 earn more than $100,000 when factoring in benefits.

[That’s not a program — it’s an industry. And it’s only possible through the massive federal subsidies that flow into Academia in the forms of student-loan programs, grants and scholarships, and support for an ever-widening array of ridiculous research programs. The only way to kill DEI and the woke-drenched administrative class is to starve it into extinction. — Ed]
