The faculty member who kneecapped the departments efforts might find the climate going forward to be a little chillier. If they had a problem with it, quite a bit earlier would have been the time to raise the concern.

Probably objecting earlier would have gotten the person branded a racist and/or white supremacist.
It takes so little to be above average.

They will justifiably be identified as one now. We may not find out who it was, but the other faculty know.

Because any objection to affirmative action must be due to racism and white supremacy.

It is pretty clear that advertising for people of certain races is not legal.

It could be that there is an angel in the English Dept. at MSU who fights for upholding the law!

On another thread, I asked about this.  Perhaps it did not sound like an objective question but a "gotcha" question.

I am wondering if what the Ole Miss department tried to do was legal?

Nitpicking: OleMiss is the University of Mississippi in Oxford. This is MissState, in Starkville.

If you read the article, you would not have made this remark

Both Michigan State University and Mississippi State University refer to themselves as MSU. As always, I have done nothing wrong. It's the others.
That's not even wrong!
