— State’s new ‘thought leader’ on equity focused on ‘long game:’ Moving Illinois from diversity to equity. Nearly three and a half months after joining Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s administration, Sekile Nzinga will get to put her theory into practice as head of a new office of equity that the governor plans to create Friday through an executive order. – Rachel Hinton (DIERSEN: What does equity mean? For example, does it mean that the percentage of minorities, females, LGBTQers, etc. who pass the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on their first attempt must be the same percentage as those who are White, male, heterosexual, etc.? Does it mean that the percentage of minorities, females, LGBTQers, etc. who UIC, NIU, Loyola, DePaul, and IIT accept must be the same percentage as those who are White, male, heterosexual, etc.? Does it mean that the percentage of minorities, females, LGBTQers, etc. who the Post Office, Firestone Stores, IRS, and GAO hire and promote must be the same percentage as those who are White, male, heterosexual, etc.?)

— ‘Overwhelming’ demand for state program offering student loan relief for homebuyers – Gaynor Hall (DIERSEN: I bought a new town home in University Park in 1972 when I was 24 years old. The down payment came from what I earned a) working for IRS full-time for the previous 15 months, first in Chicago, and then in Harvey and b) working for the Firestone Store in Chicago Heights part-time for the previous 18 months and full-time for the 7 months before that. That income also enabled me to buy a new 1972 Corvette in 1971 and to pay for tuition and books for graduate business courses at Loyola for the previous 9 months.)
