Summary:
- The University of Michigan is allocating $500,000 towards "anti-racism" projects, including training for faculty and staff on "microaggressions" and "implicit bias."
- The funding is part of the university's broader $1.5 million commitment to "diversity, equity and inclusion" initiatives.
- Critics argue that these types of programs are ineffective and may actually increase racial tensions on campus, diverting resources away from more substantive efforts to address systemic inequalities.
