ASU has a unique way of helping to heal race relations. What is their plan? They plan to pay Jemele Hill to speak about the topic. This is the same Jemele Hill who called all Trump voters “racists.” She is the one that ASU thinks can help race relations.
One of the most powerful administrators at ASU has been sending reminder emails to ASU employees to get them to attend this event. That power dynamic means that he is unfairly pressuring employees to attend and agree with this speaker. Usually, to avoid the appearance of bias, administrators will promote talks from both political perspectives. But there is not even an attempt at being nonpartisan. There is no similar talk offered for a conservative position.
This is happening as we enter another presidential election cycle with Trump. Remember, ASU is paying Nancy Pelosi to speak as well. There are no comparable pro-Trump speakers scheduled. But there is Jemele Hill, who calls all Trump supporters racists and who will enlighten ASU employees and students about race relations.
Parents, students, donors, legislators, and pastors, this is another example to add to the list of how the radical left is given a privileged position by ASU administrators. You can reach out to ABOR and respectfully let your concerns be known. You can also vote with your feet. If ASU will not offer an unbiased education to its students, there are many other options.
