Conservatives: - believe that companies should be able to do what they want in hiring. For example, a Christian company receiving federal grants should be allowed to discriminate. - think it's an outrage that a company with progressive values fired someone who challenged them.
Just so I understand, you're saying that Jews are overrepresented and I wouldn't want to do anything to jeopardize that?

In what way are efforts to compensate for systemic mistakes in recruitment equivalent to "scapegoating"?

I'm assuming that there are well-known systemic mistakes that are easy to understand without analyzing the statistics. An easy example in academia: tenure clocks coincide with timeframes in which women commonly have children, making it harder for them to get tenure.

It's easy (and reasonable) to conclude that there is no intrinsic rationale for that coupling and therefore the policy should be changed to accommodate different life schedules better. It would be incorrect to describe that as "scapegoating" men.

Do you generally have a problem with correcting mistakes that have a disproportionate (bad) impact on some demographic because it will mean that fewer members of the demographic without the problems (in aggregate) will be represented?
