By funnel I meant everything up to, but not including, the actual evaluation.
Personally, I believe in affirmative action, but it's become evident that it's incredibly unpopular, and the Supreme Court has rendered it actively illegal, so my personal opinion is moot and I know when to cede a losing battle.
What I was describing is literally the steps you would take if you wanted to ensure you have proportional representation in the pool of applicants.
- Enginerrrd 1y agoThat makes sense and sounds consistent with what I was saying. I guess it wasn't clear to me what you meant by "biasing" the funnel. You obviously need to bias your recruitment efforts, and more than slightly if you want proportional representation of applicants, but I believe it's absolutely essential you do NOT bias evaluations, hiring, or promotion of applicants. To do so actively undermines minorities in my opinion by stripping away their credibility by default.
