S4 E14 | Allegiance Optional: Could DEI Statements Really Be Old News?
Manage episode 418663952 series 2976992
This week Mike and Elizabeth discuss the potential fall of diversity statements as a condition of university employment. In such statements job candidates are required to describe how they can enhance their future employer's diversity goals. MIT president Sally Korbluth recently announced that the statements will no longer be mandatory, calling them a version of compelled speech which may interfere with freedom of expression. A few states are pressuring public institutions to do away with the diversity litmus tests and to dismantle DEI offices, or alter their focus. Interest in narrow applications of DEI as a strategic mission may be waning in some businesses and professional organizations. Public enthusiasm may also be weaker. It is not clear, however, that educational institutions will willingly shift to broader considerations of diversity and viewpoint tolerance for many years to come.
