If this policy is widely known in the academic world, why would any white educator want to teach there? One would be inviting abuse and derision every day. Any applicant would have to be so totally immersed in the ‘woke’ culture and the ‘inherent goodness of liberalism’ as to be incapable of critical thinking hence offers nothing to students.
“…identified a white candidate as best qualified for a tenure-track professor position in early 2023,“
My first question is who did this white guy vote for for all these years?
If you want to see where this is headed, watch the movie “White Man’s Burden”....
In writin’ Put it in writin’
‘Cause Da Man is oppressing me!
It’s demographics, not discrimination. There just aren’t enough QUALIFIED black people to go around.
So, to your point, the Peter Principle on steroids.
merit, skill and knowledge?
They are racist!................
That’s okay.. because the track record for all black institutions becoming successful isn’t too promising... But the worst part of the failure is at the end when tax payers have to foot the bill for the bailout...
The present bailout is crossing the southern border by the te4ns of thousands.
Hispanic hordes in the cities are the solution to the Black plague
I am sure......glad that I would not be applying to most colleges anytime soon anyway, but now there certainly seems to be good reason for viewing the situation this way.

If I were a student today, I would consider studying abroad.
Not really... Just relocating it. Proof every day of the litter all over my once clean suburban neighborhood. Walk out of my corner store opening their new pack of cigarillos (blunts) and just drop the bag they insist on at the register and the empty blunt package on the ground like it was the most natural thing to do... ...fkn pigs...
When I was on the job market I didn't have competition from black applicants because there are virtually none in my specialty, but I did witness blatant discrimination against male candidates in favor of female candidates. Departments which were mostly male (hired during the expansion of universities in the 1960s) were determined to get some women in their department. I witnessed one search where all the male candidates were excluded even though some had much stronger records than the women who made the short list for on-campus interviews.
Fortunately that was at a university where I taught for only one year.
