Universiti Malaya Mulls Hiring Adults to Its Faculty Following Pro-Colonial, Pro-Zionism Buffoonery

Universiti Malaya Mulls Hiring Adults to Its Faculty Following Pro-Colonial, Pro-Zionism Buffoonery

The institution of higher learning faces the dilemma of choosing between DEI policies to seem like hip, indulgent teenagers and being a prestigious university staffed by actual academics. It’s a tough one.


 

Following the shit-stirring stunt the College of Arts and Sciences at Universiti Malaya pulled back in April amid a globally denounced ethnic cleansing taking place in Palestine, UM is said to be seriously considering reviewing its hiring standards to safeguard its reputation.

Not surprisingly, it hasn’t gotten anywhere these past few months, as it, like many other establishments in Malaysia, is eagerly committed to implementing long-proven problematic DEI policies advanced by the far left in the US.

“Prioritizing standards contradicts the purpose of DEI — diversity, equity (equality in some countries), and inclusion. But liberals have a hard time understanding that because they’re less concerned with quality than blindly following trends and being as unqualified as possible,” Edgar Boomworth, professor of Decision Theory at New York University explained in an email. “It’s why easily avoidable incidents like the Bruce Gilley one happened.”

Epistemology professor at UC Berkeley Ann Komensen agreed. “What makes DEI enthusiastically endorsed by the left is the fact that you can be utterly useless and detrimental to an institution and everyone around you, and on top of that, you’ll be protected by anti-discriminatory policies. Nothing is gained from this, of course. The more lacking in self-awareness and competence you are, the less you can be held accountable. Basically, the world is going to hell in a handbasket.”

Malaysian leftists who defended UM’s bizarre timing and rationale in inviting a third-rate professor from the University of Portland, one whose academic work American academics have roundly criticized as inadequate, at a time when US college students and professors were being attacked and arrested for protesting Israel’s disregard for international laws, urged for open-mindedness and dialogue.

“There was no dialogue,” Mohsin, a first-year undergrad who attended the event with Gilley at UM lamented. “The faculty just sat there. None of them tried to engage him with facts or a differing perspective. It was as though they were all mute. There was no Q and A session, either. Was very weird.”

When asked what he gained from the Gilley event at UM, Mohsin shrugged and gazed at his reflection in the mud puddle by his feet for a moment.

“Nothing really. It just made me wonder what the whole point of it was. Even inviting a pro-Israeli propagandist didn’t make sense, since their arguments have been debunked over the years. I was a little mad, to be honest, because I had declined my friend’s Minecraft invite to attend the event. And then I felt empty inside and decided to drop out of university. I work at Nando’s now.”
