The criticism of residential-life programs aimed at imposing all manner of leftist dogma on students is heating up. Here from Adam Kissel at FIRE is the latest development regarding the the University of Delaware’s apparent intent to reinstate the infamous ResLife that appeared to be suspended but is now rearing its head anew. Campus administrators have now taken to hiding matters relating to Res Life. Specifically:

Following the attention given by the Delaware Association of Scholars to the University of Delaware Residence Life position called “Graduate Assistant for Diversity Initiatives,” the university has removed the job description from its website.

But FIRE, ever at the ready, preserved a copy here.

Want to get a whiff of the incredibly intrusive character of Res Life machinations? Check out the position’s responsibilities under the rubric “Resource Development”:

  • Serve as a resource in the area of multicultural and diversity issues for Residence Life staff members and residence hall students.
  • Develop resource files for programs and workshops on such topics as:
  • Inter-Cultural Communication
  • Stereotyping
  • Oppression
  • Prejudice Reduction
  • Privilege
  • Ally-building
  • Heterosexism/Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Awareness
  • Racism
  • Ageism
  • Ability Differences
  • HIV/AIDS Awareness
  • Sexism
  • Values Clarification
  • Multicultural Jeopardy
  • Classism
  • Collaborate with various campus offices to create a monthly diversity programming calendar.

Wiping away evidence of ResLife indoctrination is nothing new. Administrators began removing controversial and incriminating documents from its website last year.

Kissel concludes:

Once again, such news confirms reports I have heard that ResLife officials are doing everything possible to run the same program they ran last year but with as much hidden as possible. That’s the opposite of the new transparency that ResLife reportedly has promised.
