Have they considered that tenure track positions are pretty far along the education pipeline?
Best way to get "diverse" tenured hires is to get "diverse" grad students. And the best way to get "diverse" grad students is to get "diverse" undergrads.
And, shockingly, getting "diverse" undergrads can be achieved... by investing in whatever "diverse" community you want to grow.
- sjwalter 6y ago> And, shockingly, getting "diverse" undergrads can be achieved... by investing in whatever "diverse" community you want to grow. If only it were so simple. The world's best intelligence scientists and education researchers have spent the past three generations confirming and reconfirming the persistent gap in intelligence between different races. The gap persists even as average IQ skews upward over time. The "woke" viewpoint, and the friendly-seeming, easy-to-agree-with framing is that every difference in outcome is explained by oppression--full stop. That this completely contradicts what we'd expect based on 60 years of hard data and irrefutable evidence is of no concern--as the arbiters of what is culturally acceptable, it is now verboten in most venues to even acknowledge the obvious race-based intelligence gaps. See: Charles Murray, a truly gifted scholar, being pilloried and cast away as though he were a holocaust denier.
