Clemson ‘Diversity’ Training: Time Is Culturally Relative, Expecting Promptness Is Racist


Clemson University’s ‘diversity education and training” teaches employees that every “cultural perspective regarding time” is equally valid, so it’s wrong to expect people to be prompt.

Clemson is spending $26,945 on “diversity education and training” for its faculty members, Campus Reform reports:

“Clemson President James Clements pledged that ‘all employees will participate in diversity education and training,’ last April, in order to create a more inclusive environment on campus.”

In one slide, employees are taught that tardiness is acceptable because the concept of time is culturally relative. Thus, every culture’s perception of the actual time must be respected - since one “cultural perspective regarding time is neither more nor less valid than any other.”

Any comment I could make referencing my gut feeling would be banned from this board PRONTO.
I never in a thousand years would have thought this putrid PC crap would surface in my Alma Mater!!

Where is the one professor that has the guts to stand up and declare that tardiness is tardiness? It doesn't matter what your "cultural perspective" is. Taking any bets there wasn't one?

when you boss wants you to work from 8-5 in order to get a level of work completed that is not cultural its business. what is cultural is demanding to be allowed to get there whenever you want. It is also inferior.

Like many employers, ours also required a diversity training course for all management. Pretty basic stuff really - nothing offensive or off the wall. Personally, I thought it ironic that I (being the only Anglo male in our office) had to go through this.

In 1983 I took an incomplete in a college course. I never did complete the required work. I think I will complete it now an demand a grade change. It's my personal culture to procrastinate.
