I initially started to read this as a generic rant about DEI politics in university settings, but realized it's actually about a specific issue, diversity statements, how they're used, the fact there are scoring methods for them, and whether or not that is desirable. Readers who are apt to dismiss this because of initial appearances (bad title really) might want to reread it. I think there's something worth thinking about in it even if you're a on board with DEI efforts on campuses in general.
