Many public universities (which are arms of the state) now require candidates for faculty positions to pledge their 'commitment to the values of equity, diversity, & inclusion'. Is this an unconstitutional form of 'compelled speech' (a political litmus test)?

This is just silly. Public universities are not arms of the state. These pledges are not coming from the government but from the group think of the academy
For purposes of first amendment constitutional law, the supreme court has repeatedly decided that public universities are arms of the state, and are subject to #1A.

So they are subject to constitutional law, as opposed to private entities which aren't. That hardly makes them arms of the state. Being subject to the constitution does not make a university a subsidiary instrument of the state. Its an obvious distinction
