The screenshot was taken during the university’s fall 2024 “Anti-Racist Speaker Series” featuring a race-hustling lecturer named Lawrence Ross.

Ross states on his LinkedIn page, “I am booking blackballed lecturers on campus racism for 2023-24.” 

The university’s  DEIJ Training Opportunity page provides the following content warning:

“Some of the opportunities and resources in this section discuss interpersonal violence, including sexual assault, mental health struggles, racism, and oppression.”

Training sessions include “Anti-Racism 101 Crash Course” and “Whistleblower Awareness Training” for reporting “wrongful conduct.” Some classes offered through the Office of Diversity and Inclusion Faculty/Staff Workshops include:
