I take it you find something wrong with these requirements? They look roughly "correct" to my eye. Experience in field... Can't teach something you don't know

I take it you find something wrong with these requirements? They look roughly "correct" to my eye. Experience in field... Can't teach something you don't know yourself] Experience with educational pedagogies... Some background in education is good Recruiting for graduate programs... sure, sounds like a thing a uni would want Teaching diverse student body... this is an urban uni with a large non-white population (25% Black, 30% Hispanic) and massive number of first-generation college students (45%). Experience teaching remote, hybrid, etc.... that's a requirement in 2023

To be clear, I'm broadly supportive of inclusion, but my surprise was at the balance of 'actual technical knowledge and ability' and 'community outreach / admin / political agenda fulfilment'. If I think about university choice as 'hiring' a professor to teach my child, I would review their qualifications, and this isn't what I personally would want to see -- though as others have pointed out this is not a technical college so maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree.

  That's fair enough - this list is unsurprising at CUNY, given its mission and student body. The same list at BigStateU could be a little off-putting, though I tend to believe most of the "woke" requirements are made in good faith. I've read plenty of accounts of minority students who attended top-notch unis (some Ivies, some premier state schools) and felt completely out-of-place for myriad reasons. Colleges should put guardrails in place to ensure these students are successful.

Is there evidence that the techniques used for effectively teaching white students, are not effective for teaching non-white students? Are the brains of people from different races really that different?
