UC Berkley gives precedence to diversity statements in hiring process: A person’s candidacy is terminated if their statement does not reach a set cut-off score. Rather than promoting diversity, this process serves to promote ideological conformity. https://whyevolutionistrue.wordpress.com/2019/12/31/life-science-jobs-at-berkeley-with-hiring-giving-precedence-to-diversity-and-inclusion-statements/ …
These remind me of the loyalty oaths that were used to weed out heretics during the 1950s. Interestingly, also in the University of California system.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loyalty_oath …

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.

Will also be interesting to see how this is used in tenure and promotion. Will we start seeing profs denied tenure if their statements are not correct?

Reputation plus the 'apron strings' of funding would be a magnet for meddling, I think.
