The post goes on to mention that 76% of the 893 job candidates were rejected from further consideration because of their low-rated "diversity statements". Not surprisingly, this eliminates a disproportionate number of male, white, and Asian applicants. Economist John Cochrane blogged about this
here and
here.
If universities are racial spoils systems, I don't want them funded with my tax dollars.
Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity spell DIE, which is the message to disfavored groups. I will use the die keyword on diversity stories.

A disproportionate number of buildings on the UC Berkeley campus are named for white males. Obviously renaming in the interests of diversity is called for.

University of Californias commitment to not just using them in all searches, but giving these statements precedence in the hiring process, so that if your statement doesnt exceed a minimum numerical cutoff for promoting diversity, increasing it in your past, and promulgating it in the future should you be hired, your candidacy is terminatedIf you want a good education, look elsewhere.
Employers also need to adjust downward their understanding of what UC grads bring to the table.

Ok, what this is about is changing the face of the world of scientists, just like they changed universities. Only properly vetted liberals will be hired. Conservatives will not get jobs. In time, there will be very few normal scientists, and science will have been diverted to the service of the left.
Most “science” magazines have already gone that way. Scientific American has gone way left.

I’ve seen Oregon state government job announcements that require a statement about how the applicant has promoted diversity and equality. Conservatives need not apply.
