U. of Virginia Janitors Left Behind While DEI Administrators ‘Earn’ Six-Figure Salaries

Last Updated on March 7, 2024

The University of Virginia, a public school that’s long been a bastion of leftism, is paying Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion administrators six-figure salaries with taxpayer dollars, while the housekeeping staff is paid what could barely be described as sustenance wages.

The University of Virginia is spending upwards of $20 million a year to pay its numerous Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion administrators and employees, with the school’s “Global Chief Diversity Officer,” Martin Davidson, raking in nearly $600,000 to promote Bolshevik views on race.

According to an investigative report from OpenTheBooks.com, the University of Virginia is employing at least 235 people under its DEI department, including 82 students. The investigation determined that each year, at least $15 million in cash which, because UVA is a public school, comes from the taxpayers, is funneled into the pockets of DEI department employees, while another $5 million is paid into their benefits.

The bloated salaries of the University of Virginia’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion employees offer up a stark contrast to what the school is paying its housekeeping staff. Considering the cost of living in Charlottesville, Virginia, where the school is located, these employees are being paid what could barely be considered sustenance wages.

According to publicly available data on UVA employee salaries, housekeepers at the school are earning wages well below $40,000 a year.

These salaries are being paid to housekeepers in a city where the average one-bedroom apartment costs well over $1,000 a month.

According to numerous online search engines that show the average cost of rent in the Charlottesville area, people can expect to pay upwards of $1,300 a month for a one-bedroom apartment, and roughly $1,600 a month for a two-bedroom unit.
