I know it would be a huge loss to technological progress in U.S. (sarcasm off) but maybe, as a goodwill gesture, we could send Professor Riley to North Korea to help them with their missile engineering problems.

Professor Riley sounds awful or comic or both.
And her hiring is a bit surprising because the President of Purdue is former Republican governor Mitch Daniels, who is exactly the type of fine person who ought to lead a great university like Purdue:

Many people thought Mitch Daniels would have made a good President of the USA.

Dude –

Everyone knows lesbians make horrible engineers. How can they build anything when they don’t know how to handle wood? All of their carpentry is tongue in groove, without a stud in sight. But they are very talented with Snap-On Tools.

What does an 80 year old lesbian taste like? DEPENDS!

Your Pal,
Walt

Selling diversity shenanigans is a business and a great one at that because virtually no one has the courage to push back. No one.

Secondly, I think she has to turn over her post immediately. A white woman of northern european decent is hardly in the under privileged grouping even if they are LGBT. LGBT is just one box checked, one! She has two weeks to find someone with a native ancestry from the southern hemisphere that is not christian with a physical disability and is LGBT. There, that is at least 4 boxes, maybe 5. Sorry Donna, but skilled people who aren't "diverse" need not apply for this job.

George Bernard Shaw said "He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches." In this case, she....it....whatever. Donna couldn't design or build an outhouse. Charlatan.

Oh yeah, I REALLY want my bridge engineer to be well versed in women's studies. No.
