Ferentz not going to replace disbanded diversity committee

[intrepid27]

No link because I refuse to pay for the Gazette but the headline states that Kirk will not restore the committee that was supposed to address racism (or diversity as the Gazette writers call it). Well, I guess that means all their issues are behind them. I'm sure Hawks fans can hold their heads high now.

Kirk solved racism, so there is no need.

It is amazing to me that this guy waded through this scandal totally unscathed.

Everything swept under the rug?

The years spent manipulating the local media over there paid off.

Wow didn't see this one coming.

This was basically confirmed to the Register after being reported by the Gazette back in January. The Gazette and it's reporters were raked over the coals by hawk fans back then calling it a "hit piece".

Kirk has no issues lying. Throw in he has had solid success putting players into the NFL. Kids probably believe him when he lies to them.

He also tells them how fantastic his scrambled eggs are.

I am shocked, just shocked I say.

It's an old playbook. Deny, prevaricate, obfuscate, deny more, de-legitimize accuser, potempkin internal investigation, string it out until no one is paying attention anymore. Declare the problem non-existent, but solved anyway.

It works because most people just don't care.

Still amazed that the BoR has not stepped in to say do anything about this. B1G keeps doing things the B1G way. Just ask PSU, MSU, Michigan, and OSU. I think B1G is short for “Scandal”.

Kirk is probably still pissed that he felt forced to fire Meathead.

No question.

And they didn’t even fire him. They paid him to go away.

I wonder where all those hawk fans that pretended to be so concerned that they support racists are to tell us how this is no big deal.

David Eickholt is going out of his way on Twitter to defend Kirk. Literally commenting on random people's posts who are throwing shade at Kirk.

Yeah, racism isn’t, and wasn’t, a deal breaker for Iowa fan.

Crazy they think what happened was really ok.

For some reason I found myself in the replies on a recent Register article on this topic and whooowee were there some interesting ones on there. I guess Kirk, like any good politician, has a good understand of his constituency.
