<p><em>This is as liberal as it gets, folks.</em></p>
<p>The University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA) is paying 18 students $13 an hour to fight &ldquo;social injustices,&rdquo; &ldquo;privilege,&rdquo; and &ldquo;oppression.&rdquo; Students involved in the Diversity Peer Leader internship program will be tasked with helping others &ldquo;navigate a world that operates on whiteness, patriarchy, and heteronormativity as the primary ideologies.&rdquo; ;</p>
<p>Students involved in the program will &ldquo;create change within their spheres of influence&rdquo; by hosting group dialogues with other students on issues like race relations, cross-cultural communication, toxic masculinity, and gun violence. In exchange, interns will receive training in dialogue facilitation, leadership, and conflict resolution. ;</p>
<p>Depending on the number of hours put in by each intern, the program will cost ;UCLA between $28,000 and $42,000 per year. ;</p>
<p>As UCLA student Arik Schneiderman points out, &ldquo;The cost of the program alone could have gone to multiple scholarships, and potentially given a disadvantaged student a full ride through college.&rdquo; ;</p>
<p>Funding for the Diversity Peer Leader internship program ;comes from UCLA&rsquo;s mandatory &ldquo;Student Services Fee,&rdquo; which costs each student $1,128 every academic year.</p>
<p>The program is a &ldquo;waste of student funds to address the leftist agenda,&rdquo; says Schneiderman. &ldquo;Students should only be forced to subsidize programs which are necessary. It is the perfect example of the worst of Big Government, Big Bureaucracy. It does nothing and turns into a bottomless pit for money.&rdquo;</p>
<p>In March, the leadership program hosted ;&ldquo;SolidARiTy: Plural Identities,&rdquo; an event in which students were encouraged to create art to represent intersecting identities such as class and race. ;</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>A similar ;internship at Miami University pays up to seven interns each year to promote &ldquo;social justice and radical feminism&rdquo; on campus. In March, intern Elisabeth Dodd pointed to the architecture of the student center as one of the major social justice issues on campus.</p>
<p>&ldquo;In our student center, everything is glass. And it kind of felt like students are on display&hellip;Miami definitely advertises its students, in a way that isn&rsquo;t comfortable for everybody.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Editor&#8217;s note:</strong> Perhaps the conservative leadership will one day realize how biased our universities are, and actually do something about it.</p>
