     The cancer that is “social justice” has been infesting colleges for decades, spreading from department to department, and college to college.\u00a0 Now it has metathesized into is final form: The University of Iowa will be giving out degrees in Social Justice<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

“The University of Iowa has become the first school in the state to add a bachelor\u2019s program in social justice to its list of degrees, after its Board of Regents approved the motion Thursday.<\/p>\n

“The school already offers a first-year seminar on social justice as well as a ‘Justice for All’ living learning community where students can live and ‘learn about systemic problems in our society.’<\/p>\n

“University officials told The Iowa City Press-Citizen that both programs have been so well-received, with full-enrollment in the ‘Justice for All’ learning community, that demand for an actual degree-program on the topic made sense.<\/p>\n

“‘The proposed program will appeal to students who want a vocation related to helping others, or careers in government services or the nonprofit sector, but are not necessarily interested in teaching or social work,’ a proposal for the program suggested, noting that there is no ‘specific degree program’ at the university or in the state that provides ‘opportunities in these areas.’<\/p>\n

“According to the proposal, the program will be interdisciplinary in nature, since more and more students have ‘expressed a desire to integrate academic work more deeply with anticipated career paths,’ such as social activism work with a non-profit.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

     Unsurprisingly, the mandarins on the Board of Regents gave it an enthusiastic thumbs up.<\/p>\n

\n

“[T] he Board of Regents voted to approve the social justice degree program at its meeting Thursday.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

     In other words, the University of Iowa has gone out of its way to identify who you should never, ever hire.<\/p>\n
