For over 20 years, Ha Nguyen has served the students of Washington state’s community and technical college system, advocating for students of color and other minoritized students, and leading statewide efforts to advance racial, social, and economic justice.
Nguyen is also a Vietnamese refugee whose family was part of the first wave of Vietnamese Boat People, joining the thousands who fled by sea seeking refuge following the collapse of the South Vietnamese government. Her childhood memories include her mother’s stories of their escape – praying for her children’s survival and splitting rations of rice with other people on the boat – and talking enduringly about the importance of higher education.
Most recently, Nguyen served as Green River College’s first Vice President of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion. During her time at GRC, Nguyen was instrumental in securing nearly $1.9 million in federal funding for GRC’s first Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institution (AANAPISI) program; coordinated efforts for GRC’s emerging Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation Center; provided key supports to the Black Caucus for developing the UMOJA Black student excellence program; and sponsored the college’s first Indigenous and Native Student Success event in collaboration with GRC’s Indigenous Student Success Center.
Now, as she steps into a new role as the Pierce College District’s Vice President of Equity, Engagement and Belonging, Nguyen said she looks forward to collaborating with colleagues across the district and within the broader community to accelerate critical components of the college’s equity strategic plan.
“I am honored by the opportunity to be a part of Pierce College’s long-standing pursuit of excellence towards educational equity and am thrilled to join this community as it aspires to build an antiracist institution through bravery, care, and purpose,” Nguyen said.
I’m really looking for the good here, and I’m sure there’s plenty, but it seems like with all these “educational” alphabet programs that keep morphing into a different shape, a lot of that communism from which people fled in fear, had made its way long ago into those boats.
The graduates of such programs are clearly majority Marxists, perpetuating endlessly-more public programs.
Who pays for that?
Most of the money is borrowed with no possibility to pay it back out of cash-flows. Confiscation and communism is the only option besides default.
As a long-time observer, prove me wrong.
Our political trajectory is evidence of such.
I have read that 42 plus percent of the population now works for the government in some capacity or another. Some sources say more.
That is not a free and productive society.
That is a self-consuming organism on its way to demise.
Whether you identify as “minoritized” or majoritized, whatever that means, we Americans are all in the same boat and nobody wants to row.
The pendulum is swinging in the other direction with more businesses and educational institutions getting rid of the EDI/DEI departments. It’s time for them to DIE! Such programs are little more than an affirmative action jobs program for minorities. Have you ever looked at the staffing? At worst they are the definition of racism based upon Marxist ideology. They have little if anything to add to company or school performance other than to virtue signal woke institutions. Stop spending tax payer funds on such nonsense!
