My sister-in-law just started her semester at WVU in the world languages department. She faces the prospect of losing her job and all she’s worked for her entire career in May. It’s the same axe. Thank you for sharing this, for all you’ve done and for all who care.
I am not surprised to hear any of this. I was a member of AISES and AISA while I was there (1998-2001). I had a lot of interactions with the then diversity provost (? Can’t remember for certain if that was his title) and the diversity committee. I believe one of my peers ended up having something to do with the diversity branch after he finished his degree and worked other places, but he didn’t stay long in his role there before moving to another college.
I’m so sorry this happened to you. I can imagine the stress- and now the relief.
Walking away from a toxic culture is a brave and hard thing to do.
Thank you for writing about your experience and your decision. This type of cultural affects us all.

I haven't quit jobs often, but when I have, I have never regretted it.
