Universities Claim Saying “The Most Qualified Person Should Get The Job” Is ‘Discriminatory’
Modernity ^ | 2/24/24 | Steve Watson

A group of major Universities has issued guidance claiming that it is a form of “discrimination” to voice the opinion that “the most qualified person should get the job.”

The Telegraph reports that At least five universities, including the University of Glasgow and the engineering department of Imperial College London have included guidance on training courses, which states that voicing the opinion is a “micro aggression.”

The guidance comes in the wake of criticism that of DEI policies are leading to cases of people being hired in roles not necessarily because they are qualified, but in order to fulfil quotas.

Go figure. So, companies, schools and universities are no longer allowed to demand excellence...or even acceptable aptitude from any candidates for a position?

Wow.

Unless that person is a person of color, a woman, or is not a heterosexual.

Sounds to me that the statement is discriminatory on the basis of low expectations from those preferred groups.

[[which states that voicing the opinion is a “micro aggression.”]]

If we are gonna label that as “micro-aggression”, then let’s also label those making those claims as “micro-aggressors” agaisnt our side! They want to d9minate those that don’t agree with them and to silence them, which is “micro-aggression”

See? 2 can play their games!

Yes, it’s discrimination! One armed blind folks should not be barred from qualifying as surgeons!

Using this standard the NFL and the NBA will have to let go of a lot of people of color.

Yes, of course, I’m discriminating between those that are the least qualified and those that are. Then I might look at things like “pronoun declaration”, things that might be red flags. I don’t care if you’re a man or woman, black or white, Christian or Muslim - but that doesn’t mean that I will pick somebody that I don’t believe is going to do the best job possible, especially within the first year. We must be competitive to the extreme.

The entire hiring process is a process of discriminating between candidates. Some might do it purely on where they went to school, or GPA, or extra curricular activities, military background being a positive, etc..

The IRONY is that these same institutions are doing exactly this too - except they’re favoring specific minorities. Damn hypocrites - it just shows how they’re not concerned with competition, especially global competition. These people live in a delusional bubble.

Damn right it is!!!

That's the point!

We "discriminate" in every move we make!

We don't eat beets 3 times a day!

We don't date unattractive women with a different value system! etc...

OMG! We should demand they get the lowest quality physicians to prove they’re not discriminatory.

At our company the person who got a high promotion was rarely “the most qualified person” but the one whom could pull a vacuum on an onion sack. Usually the son of a high ranking manager. Some did not even meet the company’s own requirements for promotion. Some were so dumb the boss had to assign a regular employee to watch over them.

Question from a patient moments before undergoing open-heart surgery :
Are you sure my doctor is still certified as being trans/non-binary?

Fine. They should tell their basketball and football coaches that their rosters must be based on populracial demographics, not the ability to hit the 3 or beat the coverage.

Discrimination is an important part of society.

If I see a cute chick, but she’s tatted up, with a nose ring and red hair, I stay away.

If I see multiple, young black males loitering, I stay away.
