If someone asked VanguardStem to fund a fluid dynamics project, what are you imagining they would have to say in order to pass the ISM criteria? This concern comes across like hyperbolic fearmongering.
- whatshisface 4y agoThat they would work to promote diversity and a commitment to diversity with whatever managerial power they ended up with as a part of the position.
- p0pcult 4y agoOh, yes, there's the aforementioned hyperbolic fearmongering.
- whatshisface 4y agoI'm not sure why you're calling that fear mongering, it's perfectly normal. Where don't you have to voice a commitment to diversity? I guess startups without HR?
- jwond 4y agoHow is it fearmongering? Mandatory “diversity statements” are a growing trend in academia. It’s been discussed on HN before: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33053149 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33053149
- woooooo 4y agoIt's a real thing. UC does it and other institutions. In order to be considered for a job, you lead with a "diversity statement", this is looked at before your job qualifications even, and there are right and wrong opinions to put in it. "I want to treat everyone equally" is a Wrong Opinion.
