University of California Schools Now Require ‘Diversity Contributions’ from Math Professors
Breitbart ^ | 5 Mar 2019 | Tom Ciccotta

Posted on 03/05/2019 2:32:04 PM PST by detective

Applicants for teaching positions at the University of California’s many campuses now have to prove their commitment to the institution’s various “diversity” initiatives.

According to a report from Campus Reform, the University of California has instituted a policy that requires all applicants for teaching positions to commit to the institution’s “diversity” statement. Applicants are asked to write a statement in which they explain how they will advance the university’s diversity initiatives.

A page on the UC San Diego website details the commitment that applicants must make to advancing the various diversity causes that the UC system has adopted: The Division of Physical Sciences at UC San Diego has a strong interest in ensuring that all candidates hired for faculty appointments, regardless of personal demographic characteristics, share our commitment to excellence, access and Principles of Community. All candidates applying for faculty appointments within the division are required to submit a 1-2 page Contributions to Diversity statement. The purpose of the statement is to identify candidates who have the professional skills, experience, and/or willingness to engage in activities that will advance our campus equity, diversity and inclusion goals. The statement should outline the candidate’s understanding of, past contributions to, and future plans to enhance equity, diversity, and inclusion in higher education. When writing these statements, we encourage candidates to provide specific information on the motivation, duration, and impact of their outreach and mentoring activities.

I’d think this was un-Constitutional. But I’m still living in that past.

They must be expected to agree that 1/2 + 1/2 equals 2.

I would last there around two minutes after I grabbed something and told those in charge ‘I got your diversity contribution right here!’

Hasn't the left been shouting at us that "diversity" is "where you are at the moment"??

By definition, the Math Professors already "contribute".

What they really mean is they DEMAND that Math Professors get on board PROMOTING the homosexual and confused agenda.

If you liked that, you might like “The Gagging of God, Christianity Confronts Pluralism” by D.A. Carson. He explains American cultural trends since the early 1990’s.

With a title like that, I would have never chosen the book. But it was highly recommended by a pastor friend.

It’s heavy reading, but well worth the effort. What’s amazing is that it was originally published in the mid 1990’s. So Carson is sucessfully extrapolating into the future.

I'd turn in a piece of graph paper showing where math and diversity intersect.

Parallel lines?

Perhaps the University can demonstrate that ‘diversity’ contributes to furthering advancements in mathematics. The list of Fields Medal recipients since 1936 is surprisingly lacking in diversity.

Yup. Never the twain shall meet.

I have lived long enough to see “Atlas Shrugged” no longer as “prophecy” but as an history book.

In the 70s our profs had to pass all the Iranian students. Not that they ever showed up for class, participated in discussion or did any of the assignments. It was all for $$$$.
