What if we're more concerned about real viewpoint diversity rather than superficial demographic diversity?

There are lots of academic departments with high demographic diversity and very low ideological or political diversity (e.g. 90% Leftist activists). See
@HdxAcademy for why this is a problem. - 1 more reply

In a commendable attempt at a valid & sound argument, you begin with a false premise (demographic diversity is superficial) & draw a specious, faulty conclusion (‘real viewpoint diversity’ is preferable to ‘demographic diversity’). Your argument is both invalid and unsound.

On top of that, panels on issues that don't directly affect white men should not be 100% populated by white men. Panels on women's rights should not be completely inhabited by non-women. Panels on race issues should not be taken over by white people (regardless of sex/gender).

I imagine that's what Stanford thinks they're doing +what other academics have thought for hundreds of years. We can obviously concentrate on *all* forms of diversity but "superficial" demo diversity is long overdue and often inherently provides the viewpoint diversity you want.
