From a suppose institution of higher education, City University of New York, via Susan Edelman New York Post:
A steering committee led by Joyce Moy, director of CUNY’s Asian Research Institute, ran faculty focus groups based on “identity.” The groups included “African-American/black, Asian, White/Jewish, Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Transgender, Hispanic/Latino, Individuals with disabilities, and Italian-American.”
Setting aside the merits, one of CUNY’s groups is not like the others. African-American, Asian, Jewish and Italian are all groups with some common ethnicity. Whereas, there is utterly no common ethnic components to a person’s sexual behavior. One is say a black or Italian from his moment of conception. Yet nobody has been conceived as a homosexual or bisexual.
So if CUNY has established de facto quotas for one behavior, what other behaviors should also be rewarded. How about set asides for chronic liars, like Elizabeth Warren, Brett Kimberlin and Barack Obama. What about a set aside for convicted felons ljke Kimberlin or O.J. Simpson?
