West Virginia University is considering a proposal that would terminate professors if they did not meet the university’s diversity and social justice standards, according to the Washington Times.
The proposal adds a “diversity, equity and inclusion” component to the grading standards for professors who wish to be tenured and allows for professors to be fired if they do not meet the standards. The comment period for West Virginia University professors to offer feedback on the proposal concluded Friday and will be voted on by the faculty senate on Dec. 5, according to the Washington Times.

“Procedurally, a lot of folks are concerned that a bad review from one administrator could get them fired,” Scott Crichlow, West Virginia University associate professor, told the Washington Times. “A lot of this proposal is putting the cart before the horse because departments haven’t defined the diversity requirements yet.”
Faculty can meet the university’s social justice standards by incorporating “classroom activities that support inclusivity and diversity” the proposal showed. Professors will be given a “satisfactory” or “unsatisfactory” for each criteria, and if they fall short in one area, professors will be put on a “performance improvement plan” before being terminated.
Professors would also be graded on their efforts in “recruiting, advising, retaining and graduating students from historically under-represented groups,” the proposal stated. Evaluations of professors in their diversity efforts should be made on a “holistic assessment of evidence.”
“West Virginia University also seeks to achieve national and international impact and is committed to equal opportunity, affirmative action, social justice and the elimination of discrimination and harassment,” the proposal stated. “These commitments are moral imperatives for an intellectual community that celebrates individual differences and diversity.”
West Virginia University did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Leftwing billionaire George Soros bankrolls everything evil – most recently the 75 pro-criminal “Soros district attorneys” who have transformed America’s most dynamic cities into degraded, crime-infested hellscapes of skyrocketing violent crime. Soros also funds drug legalization, euthanasia, open borders, globalism, Black Lives Matter, “defunding the police,” devaluing America's currency and destroying her sovereignty. But why?
Whistleblower magazine reveals and explores the stunning truth: Soros, an atheist, literally says he’s “some kind of god,” obsessed with re-creating the world in his image. Here are a few actual quotes from Soros: “If truth be known, I carried some rather potent messianic fantasies with me from childhood…” “It is a sort of disease when you consider yourself some kind of god, the creator of everything, but I feel comfortable about it now since I began to live it out.” “You know, in my personal capacity I’m not actually a selfless philanthropic person. I’ve very much self-centered.” “I am kind of a nut who wants to have an impact.” “Next to my fantasies about being God, I also have very strong fantasies of being mad. … I have a lot of madness in my family. So far I have escaped it.”
Except he hasn’t “escaped it.” Not only is Soros totally mad, but he’s imposing his insanity on America. See Soros and the leftwing world he has created and funded as never before in “THE BILLIONAIRE WHO THINKS HE’S ‘GOD’: Why George Soros is obsessed with destroying America.”
