Perhaps CU not ready for Prime Time after allRe: “Sami, 4 others enter transfer portal,” April 26 sports story, and “Ugly side of Sanders Effect? Kids who felt pushed to transfer,” April 25 sports columnAfter having just read several reports about new Colorado football coach Deion Sanders forcing multiple players into the transfer portal, I believe the CU administration has their own housecleaning to do: force Sanders and his staff into their own transfer portal.Sanders feels that he has to treat these players like old furniture. These are young men whose dreams of playing football were destroyed by Sanders. Not only do they have to find a new school to attend, they risk losing scholarships and will have to spend large sums to relocate. In addition, players were initially deprived of access to their practice tapes for no good reason.Does the CU administration approve of these cheesy tactics? One reasonable alternative would be to bring out the bulldozers and ...Opinion: Diversity is going from a virtue to a vice on college campuses

Burt Jones is now demanding information on what the state’s public universities are spending on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, including staffing, the names and aims of the programs.“These programs are particularly concerning when taxpayer funds are used to enforce the type of intellectual and political conformity that appears to be the hallmark of many campus DEI initiatives,” wrote Jones in a letter to University System of Georgia Chancellor Sonny Perdue. Jones is being mentioned as a possible GOP candidate for governor in 2026.Perdue drew Jones’ wrath for criticizing the Legislature’s $66 million cut to the higher education budget, telling The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: “This is an incredibly dis...Latest news
