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

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.

They should say “I will teach students of color math - so they will understand how your Socialist schemes have no chance of working and end up living much better lives.” :)

There are three types of people in the world - those who can count, and those who can’t.

This policy should not surprise anyone. In business, a single remark can cost your job. Likewise a teacher who does not understand how easy it is to say something offensive in class will be criticized by those offended students and will be censored for it.

I used the expression, “whatever” and I cannot even remember the context but my advisor cautioned me to be more cautious in front of the class.

I was not teaching a social science class, it was a lads in beginning electronics, but I became more careful, since the depth head was taking a special interest in me.

In the old Soviet Union, there were the heavily politicized disciplines in the universities, but science, engineering, medicine, ... etc. were left to get on with their work.


Sorry, not completely true. The first FIFTY PAGES of the 1950s “Stochastic Control Theory” book published in the Soviet Union carefully explained that, even though Marx said that nothing was ‘random’, it is sometimes useful to ‘pretend’ that a system with a large number of elements is random in order to simplify approximation calculations.

Thus, even engineers had to bow to Marx.

Thanks I did not know that. Although the Stalinism in biology was well known.

The University of PC Woke is going the same way.

This has nothing to do with advancing diversity. Just the reverse. It’s a ploy to reduce intellectual diversity by screening out prospective faculty who are not fluent in Newspeak. Apparently the administration suspects there may be a conservative hidden in the math department and thinks precautionary measures are in order.

I would respond that I would be happy to include diversity goals in my class if the Diversity department would include segments on Differential Equations.

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

So, the first actual sighting of “i”.

It’s all lost. Universities are spewing that logic and reason are the perpetuation of white cishetero patriarchy.

Read the comments on the source article. Pretty good stuff. I wonder how many of them are also freepers.

I realize you’re joking but I still want to say, such a statement would not only prevent you from getting the job but probably get your name on a hundred different blacklists. (No racism intended.)
