Hillsdale College’s president, Larry P. Arnn, now says he “has deep and abiding affection for teachers.”
Arnn has been under fire in Tennessee for comments he made while in the presence of Governor Bill Lee of Tennessee, a Republican. Arnn said that teachers are trained “in the dumbest parts of the dumbest colleges.” And Arnn said that “the administrators you hire are all diversity people, and that helps you, by the way, with your federal requirements that you have a certain number by color.” Actually, there are no federal requirements or quotas mandating that colleges hire specific numbers of administrators from underrepresented groups.
