“Wokeism” is a term that has been used to describe a cultural and political movement characterized by a heightened awareness of social and political issues related to race, gender, and various forms of discrimination and inequality. The term is often used in a pejorative or critical manner by those who view it as excessive or overly focused on identity politics.
The concept of being “woke” originally comes from African American Vernacular English and referred to being socially and politically aware, especially in the context of racial injustice and inequality. It has since evolved into a broader movement that advocates for social justice and equality across various marginalized groups, including racial, gender, sexual, and socioeconomic minorities.
Supporters of wokeism argue that it is important to address systemic discrimination and promote inclusivity and equity in society. Critics, on the other hand, may use the term “wokeism” to criticize what they see as an excessive or dogmatic approach to social justice issues, often accusing it of being overly politically correct or censorious of dissenting opinions. — (ChatGPT)

Working Paper No. 244, June 2015
Abstract. This paper examines whether university endowment managers think only in terms of the assets they manage, or also take into account background income, the other flows of income to the university. Specifically, we test whether the level and variability of a university’s background income (e.g., from tuition and government grants) affect its endowment’s allocations to so-called alternative assets such as hedge funds, private equity, and venture capital. We find that both the probability of investing in alternative assets and the proportion of the portfolio invested in such assets increase with expected background income and decrease with its variability
