Commit to Social Justice At University of Minnesota Or Lose Your Job

Recently, a residence life student employee, Justine Schwarz lost her job as a community advisor at University of Minnesota because she did not promote social justice enough. According to the Minnesota Republic,

Schwarz is a community advisor (CA) at the University of Minnesota’s Frontier Residence Hall. As a CA, she is in charge of fostering a community of students in their transition into college life. In addition to supporting her residential community, Schwarz juggles her studies as an honors student, her second job at Coffman Memorial Student Union, and serves as the Lieutenant Governor of six “Circle K” clubs, an organization that focuses on volunteering across the state. Schwarz’s positive attitude isn’t limited to the academic year, either. During her summer breaks, she works at a Cub Scout camp as an instructor. Schwarz also writes for the Minnesota Republic. Schwarz is a leader whose main focus is the building of community; yet, she was not rehired by the HRL. This decision, it seems, was based not on her workplace competency, but her personal political views.

By all accounts she received high marks for creating community, but received lower marks for social justice and diversity, which lead to her losing her job.
