In the latest college madness Campus Reform is reporting “Oregon State University requires undergraduate students who enrolled in summer 2025 or later to complete two “Difference, Power & Oppression” (DPO) courses as part of its Core Education curriculum.”
In other words, as far as Oregon State is concerned, they remain a woke outpost of political correctness.
This insane course is focused on WOKE indoctrination.
“In addition to “difference, power, and oppression,” participants in the DPO Academy learn about “feminist and critical pedagogies” and “fundamentals of curriculum transformation.”
Its yet to be explained how oppression and feminist studies help advance a student’s education and prepare them for the workforce.
The reason they give for requiring these courses is even more outrageous.
“The inequitable distribution of social, economic, and political power in the United States and globally is sustained through systems of oppression, which represent a variety of discriminatory institutional beliefs and practices,” the description states. “These beliefs and practices obscure the origins and operations of systemic oppression in daily life, such that this inequitable power distribution is assumed to be the natural order.”
