The new program will be offered by the Department of Gender, Women’s and Sexuality Studies, which has a history of “creating opportunities for real-world experience tied to classroom experience,” according to the proposal.
Move over Women's Studies majors, there's a new useless degree in town...

Change the words to "Social Justice," just as relevant...

Finding ways to be offended by innocuous comments, statements, and questions.
How to ramp up your fake outrage by likening it to slavery, the holcaust, etc. for your meeting with HR.
How to defect poor performance evaluations with one word: racism.
How to play the race/gender card to sidestep merit-based promotions with one word: diversity.

Not only won't this help you get a job/career, it will actually hurt your chances.

But not if we finally can get rid of the oppresing penis patriarchy, THAT and only that is the reason why this degree (which is more usefull than all to silly fact cased STEM degrees combined) can make a job in the real world.

Sex and the city type bloggers... Always a need for lots of them! I am sure Huffpo and Salon will give them great pay. /s

So you think that the Social Justice concentration-pathway in Victim Studies with an emphasis on suing your employer might be the way to go?
I heard that the core curriculum was approved by Helen Pao so it might not be so great. But don't sue me for saying so.

I'm about to start interviewing people for my department, hopefully I don't see any resumes from this school.

Think of it this way guys, if they are fleecing them for money, -maybe- tuition will be slightly cheaper for everyone else going there?
[–] HeavyBrain 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
Nope because wage gap and glass ceiling etc.
And why would you go there anyway? every sane person would at this "institution" to the blacklist and shit will go the same way like Mizzou they will bleed money and the first thing to cover it up will be rasing tuiton.

No, I suspect the majority of these students will have their tuition paid by we, the taxpayers. We the taxpayers will most likely also pay for their cushy govt jobs and benefits.

Depends on how many federally funded students they can enroll. Grads can look forward to a nice cushy gov job dreaming up ways special interest groups are being oppressed.

University of Iowa Hawkeyes football RULZ!!! Goooooo Hawks!!
[–] novictim 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
Hawkeyes is a cultural appropriation from Black Hawk, the leader of the Sauk during the 1832 Black Hawk War in Iowa.
That you dare to use this name is a horrible, horrible racist offense. I can't believe the University supports such racist anti-Indian White Supremacist naming! O M G!
The Social Justice class will get right to work now on righting the wrongs of the past by eliminating the name BlackHawk and Hawkeye from the University so that a regime of safety and acceptance will reign over all the lands!

Thank you kind and unique Humyn for calling me on my insensitive micro-aggression against an oppressed and under-represented group of people. I am ashamed that my status as a hetro white male has made me blind to the feelings of others different from myself. Yes... yes, I will join you and a group of white male Social Justice volunteers and we will immolate ourselves at the 50 Yard line just before kickoff at the next home game of the "UI Football Team". Who in that diverse campus community will miss a few white guys? The good news is after we burn ourselves up - we will be Black!! Thank you. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity!
