UNC System Adopting Political Litmus Tests for Employment and Attendance
James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal ^ | March 29, 2021 | Jay Schalin

As was shown in the first article in this series, “diversity, equity, and inclusion” is a misleading term, indicating a radical political agenda rather than a set of ethical principles.

The second article analyzed a couple of specific examples of how DEI is being used to create political litmus tests for hiring and promotion at the University of North Carolina’s flagship campus at Chapel Hill.

But Chapel Hill is not the only school in the UNC system that is pushing the DEI agenda. In this article, the third in the series, the Martin Center takes a cursory look at DEI initiatives at other campuses in the system. It is not a comprehensive study, but enough activity was found with ease to suggest that there is a serious problem throughout the system.

Much of the current DEI activity involves forcing faculty job applicants to include a “Diversity Statement” with their curriculum vitae. This was required for applicants to the following positions:

Diversity isn’t a virtue.

Equality is thwarted by the sort of diversity they mean.

Inclusion to check off a box on a page is a vice.

It isn’t equality, it is equity.
Which is worse.

I have a litmus test for leftists. Put them all in a room and hook up the ventilation to a vehicle exhaust. After letting the engine run for a couple hours, open the room. The ones that have turned blue have passed the litmus test.

Heh, read the wrong word.

And, yes, equity the way the Woketurds use it is especially vile. It’s just commie thinking that they have a claim on other people’s stuff warmed over.

Their Revolution started with Satan and ends in the Lake of Fire.

Even in Soviet Union they wouldn’t ask you if you a member of Communist Party, or if you sympathize/comply with its ideology. They would kick you out of your place of employment if you become an open dissident, but there was no official ideological litmus test involved in the hiring process in most cases. We are truly tucked up..

DEI... perhaps that signals DEcline of an Institution, and of Higher Learning in general, specifically UNC. I know people who are graduates. Of course, they are very lefty, but the reality and results of this trend are terminal. Anyone with a mind will not be able to tolerate this. So, they lose their job, tenure or no tenure.

All universities need to realize that they are institutions built by supreme whites.

Public (state) universities are financed by tax money, so not attending will not eliminate them.

Little by little the left implements various means of eliminating normal people by denying them jobs, thus throwing them out in the street.
