Central Michigan University (CMU) is offering students “tips and tricks” to be “antiracist” this semester.
Last month, the university stated that it is extending its “I AM ANTIRACIST” campaign to spring 2022 with a series of seven events that include workshops and panels.
I AM ANTIRACIST, a project of the Office of Multicultural Academic Student Services (MASS), is a “schoolwide campaign designated to promote anti-racism on campus,” according to the initiative’s 2021 video debut on YouTube.
Referencing the student interviews in the video, CMU sophomore Evan Gibeau told Campus Reform that despite “good intention” the messaging “bothered” him.
“I don’t agree with the equity argument, because minorities literally get preferential treatment when it comes to admission and scholarships,” Gibeau said.
Mary Famutimi, a junior who is also Nigerian, said she wanted CMU to “focus more on diversity within faculty” and other leadership positions, as opposed to just students.
“Increasing the diversity of faculty is fine,” Gibeau told Campus Reform. ” But prioritizing racial diversity over experience and qualifications does not help students, it hurts them. Introducing a policy that uplifts one group of students is fundamentally unequal.”
I AM ANTIRACIST runs Jan. 25 through Apr. 26. A different university office will run each event.The offices participating in I AM ANTIRACIST include Admissions and Orientation, Office of Residence Life, Institute for Transformative Dialogue, and the Office of Diversity and Education.

As of this writing, each event promises to feature discussions in which “faculty and staff frame their perspective through an antiracist and decolonized lens.””The office will address campus life through […]
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
