3) Diversity was evaluated in terms of ethnicity/race and gender because those are the demographics asked in job applications. The committee has no information on class, sexual preference, "ideology", other than what people might have disclosed in their applications.

6) Having said all that, we should work on what do we expect from diversity statements and make sure we are not just selecting people that know what to say and how but are actually doing meaningful work. Having a clear rubric like UCB can help with that.

The author of that post clearly has a bone to pick, and doesn't care how they pick it. Being committed to wanting to improve diversity in some fashion is not an ideology. Anf using terms like "terminated" when what is meant is "didn't make the short list" is disigenuine.
