I’m curious how this would be viewed in court given that theres more subjectivity in the process (candidates write a statement to be judged rather than sign a standard statement). Based on how the Harvard admissions case went tho I anticipate this to be in practice for a while.

This is disgusting if you all are complaining that hiring practices value diversity in their candidates. Ideological diversity? Give me a break. Race intersects with other identities & is tied to recent historical events (e.g. Jim Crow) that make for underrepresentation today.
