CU Regent Wanda James

I have never backed down from a righteous fight!

I will personally miss Rick. He is has been a great friend.

@Me_Va1e_Madre @TorchAntifa @TPUSA Just seeing this now. Let me look into it.

@TorchAntifa @TPUSA @Wanda4CU 👀

CU Boulder @TPUSA Secretary Nathan Ellis in his own words: "I'm actually racist, I'm just straight up racist."

It was exciting to join @DenverChannel News with @JessicaDenver7. It is clear that CD1 is ready for new leadership. The energy and momentum are real and growing every day. Thank you to everyone who is watching, asking questions, and pushing for change. youtube.com/watch?v=gDC50N…

CU Regent @Wanda4CU James has deep political roots in Colorado and hopes to unseat @RepDianaDeGette. James joined 'Colorado's Morning News' with her vision, and more... koacolorado.iheart.com/featured/color…

Go on Shaduer! 1st @NFL touchdown! #12 @CUBoulder

When Democrats stand w/ MAGA Republicans, even @grok calls them out. CU has a real issue with Black leadership, but loves Black athletes, go figure. @CUSystem @CUToddSaliman

Every day when I look at social media, I see @pweiser out here in these streets fighting for the people. If @coloradodems want fighters, then lets elected fighters! #EducationFirst

I was very proud today to present Rob Andrews for Aurora Council At-Large a maxed out check from my newly formed THE WARRIOR PAC! Rob is our first our first warrior and we are so proud to support him! Let’s change the face of Aurora Politics! #WarriorPAC

Today is our beautiful boy’s 5th Birthday. We LOVE you so much, Malcolm. Thank you for coming into our lives and disrupting everything!

@ZachFOCO @DeepNotShallow @coloradodems @CUSystem Well you would be wrong again. Most of the folks who were working in DEI tended to be white women. And to be clear there are less than a handful, no where near 100 working in outreach. Perhaps you should do some basic research before posting.

@Wanda4CU @DeepNotShallow @coloradodems @CUSystem What about all the DEI offices and DEI jobs for CU. I bet there are at least a few hundred black employees in these types of jobs.

I am deeply alarmed by the CU Board of Regents’ recent vote to censure Regent Wanda James, and even more disturbed that three Democratic Regents (Elliot Hood, Ilana Spiegel, and Callie Rennison) joined MAGA Republicans in carrying out this political attack. 🧵

@ZachFOCO @DeepNotShallow @coloradodems Given that the entire @CUSystem has zero Black Vice Presidents, No Black Chancellors & only 2 in CU’s history, I am just wondering what facts on hiring you think you know?

@Wanda4CU @DeepNotShallow @coloradodems DEI bs is just a shake down of students and taxpayers. It’s just so people like Wanda can hire hundreds of their friends and family to make six figures for no show jobs with “equity advisor” titles.

We must reject this vote and what it represents. We must defend the right to speak out, to challenge injustice, and to lead with principle. Our students, our communities, and our democracy deserve nothing less.

If you care about CU. If you believe in racial justice. If you want students to have Regents who fight for them, not punish them. Then step up. We need leadership rooted in values, not appeasement. This moment is a test.

I want to end by thanking Regent Nolbert Chavez for standing firm and voting against the censure. That is what courage and integrity look like.

Without corrective action or further explanation, it would not surprise me if they face electoral challenges in the future. Denver and CD1 deserve representation on the Regents and grassroots Democrats should consider their options to rectify this.

And I say this as someone who has supported Elliot Hood and Ilana Spiegel in the past. I reached out privately to them to express my concerns before speaking out publicly. I disagree with their reasoning and I’ve implored them to change their position.

Regardless of political leanings, Regents must retain the right to speak freely. I strongly oppose many Republican Regents’ views, but I firmly support their right to express them. However, with this new precedent, Regents can only speak about whatever the majority allows.
